The possible effects of videogames or violent toys on children

In this technological era, while toys carry on becoming popular gifts for children, video games are at the top of many wish lists of some children. Boys are more open to the behavioral effects due to the unnecessary use of the war toys. Use of these toys is high by the male children.

Young children have difficulty in separating facts from fantasy. Children learn through play. It is during imaginative participation that the child begins to learn. Learning to lend a hand, discuss are important skills learned through play. The learning process through play and games is applied in kindergartens which have turned out to successful method of teaching all around the world.

Although kindergartens use games or toys to play or teach children; kindergartens are always not responsible for destruction of the child’s psychology. However they are just the foundation for the child to enter into the violence fantasy. Television, video games have become increasingly cruel. Research conducted recently state that they indicate aggressive behavior in children.

Most parents are aware about the effects on their children due to the violent television shows.  But many do not realize that violence behind toys. Most experts say that children should not be allowed to play with guns or other toys that promote violence. I agree with that point. These toys send the message that violence is acceptable and conflicts should be resolved by fighting to the children. But in my opinion it must not be like that.

It may not be obvious. But the toys that a child plays with can have deep effects on them. Providing a child with toys that encourage learning in a healthy way can be a huge benefit to a child's development. In my viewpoint parents need to give children, the toys that are essential in child development to build a peaceful happy and harmony environment. Toys help children to model the world. But our society has been teaching for generations that guns and violence are acceptable behavior.

War toys not only have negative impacts on child’s behavior or development but they raise negative ideas. Parents’ guidance is necessary to keep their children away from such toys that broadcast violent behaviors in their children as well as help them escape from those.

Children should be provided with the toys that encourage creativity and imaginative occupy themselves while encouraging, sharing and cooperation, building and creating rather than destroying. Promote learning of new skills help children develop their own talents that are open-ended.
The violence in toys and video games is nothing new. But it is only the attention that you can give to them. Regardless of warning labels, violent toys and video games make children dull and not intelligent. But what kinds of effects do these violent toys and video games bring? Children’s toys started representing violent characters before few years as well. The probable effects of playing with violent toys have for a long time debate. This is why there are warning labels on many of the most violent toys; kids play out violent solutions to imaginary conflicts.

  1. I completely agree with all the effects of video games and violent toys you have discussed in this article. But this is only one side as video games also offer several advantages too. The fact is that excess of anything is always bad.
