Many parents are worried about the increasing amount of violence in computer games and TV programmers for children. Is violent entertainment harmful for children? What can be done to solve this problem?

These days most parents are worrying about their
children
, who are getting exposed to violent
games
and TV programs.
Due to
the immense increase in these types of
entertainment
,
Children
will have problems like not being able to manage their anger or they will get easily provoked by little
things
and for that common solution
such
as Restrictions on certain
things
should be applied by the parents. As the
entertainment
world is
also
changing with time,
children
have
also
changed their way of
entertainment
as well. These days violent
games
are getting popular among
children
and because of
this
, it has led to harmful problems
such
as getting triggered by little
things
and expressing themselves not in a lenient manner more like abusing and cursing, and easily starting a fight which can be solved through talking out. Mostly,
due to
normalising
this
type of behaviour in violent programs and
games
most of the young minds are getting corrupted and lost the basic etiquette of respecting each other.
This
will lead to even worst conditions if not controlled at a young age.
On the other hand
, there is a solution to
this
problem, which is to bind them with strict rules. Making them aware of not normalising
this
kind of behaviour and restricting them from watching violent TV Programs and giving them only a specific amount of hours to play
games
.
Furthermore
, Encourage them to play
games
apart from technology,
For instance
, Playing indoor
games
or outdoor
games
which don't need any electronics. Make them explore new hobbies or skills they aspire to as it could distract them from these kinds of
entertainment
.
To conclude
, the growth of these violent entertainments will always be there, it is the parent's job to make their
children
understand and provide some boundaries to these
things
because these problems can lead to prolonged difficulties in a child's life.
