video games
Colette asked:


I have a nephew who is just 3 years old. He loves to come over to our home because of my brother’s video games. My brother has serious bloody games and fighting games and my little nephew enjoys playing them. He’s actually quite good at it to be honest. I’m concerned though. Would it affect my little nephew in a bad way if he keeps playing games like this?

    That’s a good question… I personally don’t think video games are bad, but I do think he’s too young. There are other video games for younger kids, howabout you buy some for his age, there are some very good educational video games out there.

    The childs age depending on what kind of video game it is are developmentally appropriate for children under 12children imitate and creativity think as possible and creativity think as possible and become bold innovative individuals so my answer is no violent games improve eyehand.
