As little as ten years ago the world was a different place for kids growing up and there has been a lot of debate as to whether it has changed for the better or worse. We are still seeing our kids wanting to play with their friends when they get in from school but these days they are using the internet or the games console to connect with each other instead of going outside and calling for each other to play in the fresh air.
We don't really know what problems it may cause if our child just sits on his or her games console playing something like Call of Duty for hours at a time. In this game our kids are encouraged to kill as many as they can while playing which is a bit disturbing to say the least.
We really can't tell what this is doing for the social skills of our kids but the only good thing about it is the fact that our kids are able to talk to each other.
However a big problem of the computer and console gaming world is that it encourages our kids to be less fit; many of our kids these days never actually take part in any physical activity because they are too busy playing games on the computer or console. If you hear a kid asking his or her friend to play football after school they will actually be talking about playing Pro Evolution soccer or FIFA instead of getting a real ball for a kick about.
Most games these days are rated according to age in the same way that movies are rated. The big problem with this is that most of the young gamers want to play the games that are rated 18 and they will not be happy at being left out because they are too young.
The trouble is that most parents will just allow their kids to have these games because 'everyone else has them'.
