Children and computer games

Get the best out of it

Educational games could improve children's ability to think logically and their problem-solving skills. While on the one hand the games are beneficial to some extent, their ill effects cannot be ignored. Children obsessed with these games often complain of neck and back pain, photosensitive epilepsy, headache and hallucination. Long hours in front of the monitor could also make them introverts. Every thing has its advantages and disadvantages; such is the law of nature. What parents can do is try to maintain a balance and get the best of what technology has to offer.
