Prevention of damages from electronic games:
The damages of electronic games can be easily prevented by determining play times, following up on children, and not giving them complete freedom to play. While young and old people have sufficient awareness to know the damages, parents must follow some steps to protect their children:
- Avoid allowing children under school age to play games freely.
- Rely on ratings from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) to find the right games for kids.
- Experience playing games with children to discuss the content of the game and how it affects them.
- Set strict rules about the content of the games that are allowed to be played and the time that is allowed to be played.
- Observe children's behavior, reactions, and how they interact with games.
- Warning children about the harms of electronic games and their effects on them.
- Avoid playing inappropriate games in front of children, as this may contribute to encouraging them to do the same.
- Encourage other tasks other than play, such as reading and exercise.
