Abstract
This chapter analyses the impact of computer and video games on the development of children. First introductory part of this chapter informs its readers about the computer and video games followed by understanding the term development. The chapter details about how computer and video games affect the children and their behaviour. There is clear evidence from researches that shows the impact of computer and video games on the learning and development of children. On the positive side, they improve handeye coordination, logical skills, visual concentration, and so forth. They also provide an occasion for the child and parents to play together, which further helps in familial bonds and psychological development of children. Looking at the negative side, the computer and video games caused addictive, obsessive, and violent behaviour in children; taking away their time from other creative activities and sports, and so forth. In addition, some games desensitised children from other’s sufferings and made them more violent. The chapter concludes with some suggestions and recommendations as to what extent we should let children use these games, how to deviate their inclination to play these games, and to motivate them for other games and outdoor activities.
