THE EFECTS OF ACTION GAMES AND MOVIES ON CHILDREN THAT PARENTS PROBABLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT




Firstly, why do we play video games?  Video  games as every other thing performs a function in one way or the other , it serves as a source of entertainment majorly ,it’s something you do when you’re bored or you probably have nothing to do . And movies on the other hand also serves as another source of entertainment too .we have different sorts of movies today like the  romantic movies  , thrillers  , cartoons , comedy, action,  etc.  .but the major thing is that each of these movies pass different messages and in most cases most movies rather pass negative messages to the under aged child , most children of today are exposed to movie scenes which in most cases affects or changes the mind set of that child.                                                                                                                                                                              

Recently in the united states there was a case where a young boy  jumped out of his window thinking that he was superman ,now the boy must have watched a movie where superman jumped from a skyscraper or performed one of those super  moves ,these ought to have given him the courage that if he should jump out his own window ,he also would perform a super move before reaching the ground ,unknown to him that the law of gravity will definitely have its way and the powerful superman doesn’t exist…..  If   the parents  were more cautious about what their child was watching, they wouldn’t have had to suffer such an unfortunate loss . That’s the problem most people have today  you see a  parent trying to get lots of stuffs that aren’t really essential for the growth of a child, they always try to get what the child doesn’t really need .most parents buy adult games for their under aged children allow these children to watch what they want at any time ,by doing this the parent gives the child the freedom to watch what he likes without any form of supervision or caution so tell me why a child won’t go and fly out of a window when his/her head is full of super moves made by super man and spider man and when they have also played games where someone robs a store and gets into a getaway car and drives off so fast that even  the cops  won’t be able to catch up with him.so these are the sought of things the child sees  and want to have a taste of .

Secondly most children spend more time in front of the television than they spend doing any other thing and 98% of these children are watching either adulterated movies or something else  and the remaining 2% are trying to learn something from an educative program or something ….now using this statistics you will notice that action games and movies actually have more of their products sold out than any educative program or game and these adulterated action games and movies are actually sold to people who end up giving these games to under aged children ,and who are these people buying them ? Its nobody but the “GUARDIAN OR PARENT “ of that child just because his child told him that his mates are actually playing the game so the parent will try to make it up to the child so that he will feel among to ,not knowing that instead of helping that child he’s actually opening a window for that child to ask for anything without limits .Now after giving the child the opportunity  he wants, what happens when he asks for something you can’t give ?...... The child will be forced to get it somewhere else because you have always made him feel among so he finds it hard not to feel among at that time and then he is left with  his own alternative because he hasn’t had any moral discipline since the day he was born you’d rather allow him to have what he wants at any time and  see movies of people doing their own will without the parent’s consent so he does the same thing and in most cases ends up in trouble .

Finally , I  believe that if we try to engage these children in more outdoor games like  cleaning ,outdoor sports ,educative programs ,puzzles ,scrabble , ludo  and all those  positive local things you as a parent did for fun when you were young ,you will notice that the streak events not necessary in  the gradual development of the child’s mind set will go away……..
