How to choose useful computer games

Find out why kids ps3 games are not useless, and can bring a lot of value for your little one. 

Usually, when it comes to computer games teachers, parents and the older generation of people are convinced that PS games for toddlers are a useless waste of time. More, they can cause a lot of problems with the child's behaviour and well-being. Another great question is what are the best games and genres for young children?   Let's have a closer look at this topic, and find out what specialists in different areas think. 

So,  the main question is whether it is necessary to forbid computer games? In medieval times kids were not allowed to read novels and other types of literature, as it was considered bad for their behavior. Now video games are a part of a modern culture. Sooner or later your child will express interest in trying out some games. Of course, just sitting and staring at the computer screen is bad for your health. But there are no scientific proofs that all computer games are bad. I believe that the key to wise usage of a computer is setting a time limit, that your child has to stick to. If you built a good relationship with kids, there should be no problems. Another important fact, that young children can be a part of a team game, where they would have an important role, and feel valuable among other children. Together they will fight enemies and learn how to be team players But it is crucial to set rules and be open to discussions. For example, your kid wants to play a team game that lasts for 3 hours, and you set a daily limit for computer games, which is 1 hour. How to solve this issue? If you ask your child to stop after 1 hour, in the middle of a battle, he will upset all his team, and maybe they won’t ask him to play with them again. For a case like this you can be flexible. You make an agreement with your child that you allow him to finish the game, but the next 2 days he spends without computer at all.  You can find another solution with your kid, the main point here is to be flexible. If you’re interested in the process, you can ask your little one to show you , and explain the  main point of the game. But remember, that you shouldn’t criticize it, even if you think it’s silly game. Always try to take a pause and think before you say something to your child.

Another great piece of advice is to try playing together. It might be a great option if you want to build a better relationship with your kid. But don’t forget to give him space, it’s a great thing to give the chance to be independent at least online. It will help your child to build extra confidence, and improve self- esteem . These qualities may help your little one to become more independent in real life. Because, as you know, small successes on a daily basis bring a lot of value to a general attitude to life. 

To sum up, without a doubt computer games can be both, valuable and harmful at the same time. The key here is balance . If you’re a sensitive and  hearing parent, you will have no issues setting healthy boundaries considering computer games and being flexible and understanding at the times, when your little on needs it. Take your childs’ needs seriously and it will help you to build great relationships with your kids, and save yourself a lot of time and health , when bringing up your youngsters.
