Often my friends and I discuss the topic of raising children, share experiences, various tricks, methods of punishment. And many of my friends punish children by depriving them of their favorite pastime - playing on a computer or tablet, forbidding them to watch cartoons, etc. The question is, why is it as a punishment for our children? Why can't they just play active games on the playground or read children's books, experiencing the same pleasure as virtual entertainment? After all, we grew up without any scientific and technical inventions, and it was interesting to us! We had no idea what mobile phones, laptops, tablets, game consoles were. Many of the above were not there at all, and the rest was only in the elect. We did not need a variety of gadgets, we invented games and entertainment ourselves, we drove down the street, jumped on a skipping rope, played hide and seek, in pursuit, and most importantly - we were happy!
- Why is the ban a punishment?
So why do our children become unhappy when mom or dad forbade playing computer games? And the answer is simple. We ourselves have created a virtual world for our children, a virtual childhood that completely absorbs them, takes away the opportunity to enjoy ordinary things, to experience the pleasure of communicating with real friends. I always wanted my children to have everything, their childhood was thousands of times better than mine. I bought them a phone, tablet, desktop computer. In the house we have two televisions. I am pleased that my children have something to do at their leisure. But we miss one important point, being sure that with gadgets we make childhood brighter, better, more interesting. Few people think that in this way we only take it away from children. We do not give them the opportunity to taste real life and enjoy their childhood.
- Gambling Addiction
No one disputes that computer games and television programs are quite interesting and to some extent informative, but they zombie our children and make them addicted to virtual entertainment. The children are simply not interested in the real world, the people around them and games on the playground with peers.

- Gadgets replace parents
Yes, it’s convenient for us when children have something to do. Indeed, in the modern world, with a crazy rhythm of life, we are always in a hurry somewhere, do not have time, we constantly do not have enough time. And when our children “hung” in the computer or TV, we feel relief, because we have a lot of free time. We stopped talking with our children, explaining elementary things to them, teaching them how to help around the house and just playing with them.

Yes, in the virtual world it’s fun and interesting.But is a computer capable of replacing live communication? Is he able to regret, hug, support or sympathize? Is it able to give love, warmth and affection? We give children technical entertaining fashionable devices, thereby depriving them of the most precious, which should be an eventful childhood for each child.
- Why do we lose spiritual connection with the child?
Children leave reality in an illusory world, they are no longer interested in us, they stop sharing their impressions of time spent, don’t talk about their failures and achievements, they don’t share their experiences, they don’t consult with us and they don’t complain about the neighbor’s boy who took them from them biscuits. Our participation in their life becomes extremely limited and consists only in providing for their material needs. We live our full lives, and our children become just robots, which besides computers and TVs are of little interest.
- Games and cartoons educate our children
Winning free time for personal needs, we lose our children. The process of education, we shifted to modern virtual games and cartoons, which have become closer and more expensive to our children than we parents. Accordingly, it will be so in the future. How will our children grow up if their whole childhood was devoted to computer toys? We have replaced ourselves with computer entertainment. When our children become adults, they will not have pleasant memories from childhood, since all their childhood passed behind a computer monitor, they will not need us.

It's just awful…
To be honest, I’m generally against giving a child to play computer games in childhood, because this will not lead to anything good. It is much better to go outside and play something mobile.
If you already had a baby, then you should fully engage in his upbringing and not hope that he will learn everything. I don’t understand such parents at all ..
I also have a small child and I completely devoted myself to him. This is how one can achieve that a child will be brought up, will be loved and will understand that he is needed.
I am glad that I have a child. This is my everything and I try to devote every free minute to him.Because if something is missing in childhood, then all life can go wrong.
In childhood, the child in any case must be controlled. This is especially true for games. Now such cruel games began to be released. They definitely should not be given to the child to play.
You are stupid. Have you heard about developmental games for kids?
