Can television or video games affect my child’s learning and behaviour ?
Watching many hours of television, playing many hours of video games, and electronic games affects some children’s moods and concentration. A young child who watches hours of television, videos or plays a lot of electronic games often cannot concentrate for a period of more than a few minutes. As electronic equipment is part of our lifestyle it is important to control the usage and to balance this with exercises that help develop focus and concentration, such as yoga or martial arts. Radiation from electronic equipment may have a negative affect on your child’s body and mood and you may find your child is irritable and and has problems getting to sleep.
