If parents dont cut down playing time on videogames, children wont be able to seperate reality from the game. Many games today, like Call of Duty, include unreal violence and situations and children might grow up thinking that dangerous places are fun. On the other hand, games like Black Ops consist of unreal creatures. The children might think that the creatures are real and may get nightmares. Also, children can get addicted to the game and some may even think that they are apart of an unreal world. Not knowing weither games are reality or fiction can be unhealthy for a child.

Parents should limit the time their children spend on playing video games for a few reasons. While playing video games, it will take time away from you instead of going outside for fresh air. The games being played might not be a good influence to your child. Playing too much video games might damage your brian. In conclusion these are a few reasons why parents should limit the time their children spend on playing video games.

Children don't focus on schoolwork anymore. They just play videogames all the time. Today children don't even care about their grades. The children’s grades will go down if they don’t focus and study. Unfortunately, the kids will have to stay back and learn the same stuff over again. Lastly, the children won't have the education needed to use for a better job. Therefore, the children will have bad grades and won't succeed in future life.

If parents don't limit childrens' time spent playing video games childrens' grades can drop from comming home and not doing their homework and instead playing video games. Also, when children should be studying they could be playing video games which might cause them to fail their tests. Lastly, when children are in school they could be thinking about what games they are going to play when they get home and not pay attention in class. Therefore parents should limit childrens' time spent playing video games so children don't slack off in school or schoolwork.

Children should be limited the time they play video games because the child may start going downhill in school. First, the child may be kicked out of a club that they are in. This is bad because the club may be something that can get them a scholarship or the club may be important to them. Next, the child may not be able to get into a good college because the college will only accept people who have good grades. Lastly, if the child starts going downhill in school, the child may start hanging out with the wrong kids. As you can see, children should be limited the time they play video games because they could start going downhill in school.
When a child is told that they need a decent grade to stay on a team, they are so dedicated to that sport that they will do whatever it takes to keep their grades up. Many times in my life my dad will say to me, "If you don't ace this test, you cant go horsebackriding anymore." I love horseback riding and will do anything to keep doing it. Also the school district sayd that your grades must be over a 70 to stay on a team. this will put the childs work and grades into over drive because they love the sport they play. Lastly people always want good grades in general, so, knowing that a sense of accomplishment comes along with playing your favorite sport is a reward then children will always want to get A's on their test and quizes. this is why kids will study hareder to get a decent grade to play a sport in school.
Parents are looking at their children playing the latest Call of Duty and notice that their grades are dropping dramatically. I don't think it is a surprise why. When children are taking tests, they are always thinking about new war stratagies instead of what the square root of 49 is. They also don't listewn to the teacher wen they are taking note, instead they are thinking about who the should play on xbox with. Lastly when a child is "trying" to study (as parents may think) they are really playing their favorite game on the video games instead of looking over problems for tomorrows math test. This is why children should study instead of playing videogames.

If parents don't limit their kids time playing video games, then kids will become over obsessed. Spending half the night trying to bet Call of Duty or Black Ops will make your kid very tired and grumpy. Grades are another thing affected when kids spend more time on video games then studing for important tests. Kids can also become over obsessed with the game and think it is okay to do volience in places in school;and im sure that you don't want to be getting a call form the principal saying that your kid was trying to beet up another student bcause of what he or she saw in a video game. So before your kid becomes over obsessed think about the affects that it would have on you and you child.

Parents should limit the amount of time their child spends playing video games because they will start to do poor in school. Children will start to do poor in school because they will always be thinking and day dreaming about the game causing them to not pay attention. Secondly children will begin to do poor in school because they will be playing the game instead of doing homework causing low grades. Lasly children will begin to do poor in school beacuse they will get so addicted to the games and want to skip school behind your back. As you can see letting children play videogames all the time could cause troublesome grades in school.

When parents don't limit the time their child spend playing video games, the child does poorly in school. Children don't get the amount of sleep they need when playing all night. As a result, this will make the child tired during school. Also, children won't study as much. Playing video games doesn't give them much time to study. Lastly, children won't pay attention in school. They will just be thinking of the game they want to play when they get home. Therefore, when children play videogames all night they will do poorly in school

when Parents dont limit there childs time olaying video games they will do bad in school. They will do poorly in school because they will be thinking about the game and not school. Another reason they will do poorly in school is because they will be playing the game at home instead of studying. The final reason why kids will do poorly in school is because the game might try to get expeled so they can stay home and play the gam. this proves that parents should limit the time their kid spends playing video games

It isn't a pretty sight when a child comes home and skips homework to play video games. This will cause the child to dream about the game in school and risk paying attention. Also if the child stays up all night he/she will be very tired in school. Lastly the child wont want to study or do homework because the game is way more important. As you can see, letting your child play video games all the time isn't such a hot idea.
