The electronics era has its influence on everything and everyone: all of us use electronic devices for a thousand things, and children have more and more facility for computers, since their very first years.

While some times ago children hoped in a sunny
day to be able to play outside, nowadays children are not as interested in the
meteorological situation: many games of theirs, in fact, are in the computer.
Instead of the various games with the ball,
hide-and-seek and the other classical games, there are star wars, car races and
any other kind of games, easy to find in an enormous variety of internet sites:
buying videogames, in fact, is no longer necessary: a few clicks are enough to
find a huge quantity if free games.
There are studies on the videogames addiction,
but prevention, after all, is not impossible: parents need to check the use of
the computer on their children’s part; a responsible use can avoid problems of
various kind to rise that, if are left to their natural course, can create
disturbs that go from the psychological to the physical and practical sphere,
such as a-sociality, a fall in the progress at school, sleepiness, headache,
etc.
It’s not necessary, though, to get worried if
children get annoyed if, while they are playing a particularly involving game,
parents call them away: after all, if this is the only “symptom” of addiction,
it can be compared to being called while reading an interesting book or
watching a good movie. You should get worried, instead, if they get nervous
every time they stop playing, if they prefer playing a videogame instead of
playing with their friends, if you find them playing by stealth, if you notice
reddened eyes or if all their conversations converge on the topic “videogames”.
Hence, it would be enough for parents to check
the usage of the computer on their children part, maybe giving them a time
limit: among the thousands of motorcycle, adventure, cooking and other games
they can find in internet it’s easy for a child (but, sometimes, even for an
adult) to get lost and spend whole afternoons in front of the monitor. With the
right limits, on the contrary, games can result useful: in small doses, they
can even turn out to be a help to stimulate fantasy, improve reflexes, to relax
from small problems in a world outside the reality.
The variety of games you can find in internet
gives a wide choice of games for children, suitable for them in terms of
graphics and topics; on the parents’ side, the online games are particularly
convenient because they are free, avoiding expenses for games that sometimes
are used for some hours and then forgot.
Thus, the online game is not to be completely
condemned; it is to be limited, but excluding it completely from the
possibilities of a child, it becomes even more desirable: one thing in common
between nowadays children and the children of some times ago is that the more
you forbid a thing, the more they desire it...
