These days many children are glued to their computer and cellphone. It is not a positive development because when they spend many hours of whole day playing games on computer, tablet or gaming console, they will develop many health problem even may develop behavioral changes. In my view, it is more beneficial for children to spend time in outdoor activity or games rather than gadgets.
Outdoor games are good for children. They make them strong and fitter. Children who play games are healthier. They are also less likely to involve in anti-social activities. Outdoor games need more individual performance and team as well. When children play games like cricket, soccer, basketball learn social and management skills as how to work as a part of team. When they play lawn tennis, badminton, chess and swimming improve itself with eye, hand with mind coordination. All indoor and outdoor games always works as a immunity booster. It also has less drawback with fear in parent mind about children safety from kidnapping, injuries and harassment.
On the other side, children who spend the whole time indoors will most probably spend overwhelming hours in front of the TV, mobile device or computer. It may lead to several health problems like eye-sight, anger, aggressive, obesity and diabetes. These children may also find it difficult to interact with others. Also, Internet has many unexpected inappropriate material, when they spend a lot of time on their computer, they are more likely to be exposed. All of these factors can have an adverse impact on their physical and psychological well-being. But today era is of technology so it is also fruitful for them to learn about computer.
To summarize, it is not hard to see that there are several benefits to engaging in outdoor activities. Parents should not allow children to waste their whole time on electronic devices like computer, tablet, mobile and kindle. Parents should motivate their children for outdoor games and less on technology over computer as well.
