At the same time, video games provide children with virtual worlds where they can practice skills such as leadership. These are the same skills necessary in real life. The children get a chance to learn the skills through taking roles. For instance, a child may take the part of a police officer in the game and learn a thing or two about being a police officer. This is because the games “mimic social structure” (Kiefabar 1).
Finally, it is the responsibility of parents to control how their children play video games. Too much exposure to the games has more negative effects than positive ones. Parents should therefore protect their children from the adverse effects of the games. Just as they would not allow their children to watch X-rated movies, they should also stop them from playing violent video games.
