There are really a number of vices that can hinder the learning process of your child, and it is worrisome to see how they deliberately go back to practicing them, without any purpose, when we refer to the case of video games.

Parents have the greatest authority to make them understand that they are capable of being good students while still playing with their video games.

The hard work of the parents, produces that your child spend more time in their video games, and few are what pay attention to what the children do when they are not, but I want to share some strategies so that you can face your child without hurting his feelings.

Did you know that video games affect the emotional system of the child, since they try to achieve the goal of the game, among them super powers or firearms of higher rank, this is what leads the child to feel more and more desire to play every day until you achieve your goal. It is very delicate because the child tries not to sleep thinking how he manages to obtain fictitious powers, even the psychological part can be affected without measuring consequences.

It is very likely that your child will change his level of positive behavior to a negative level, this is a product of the anger and frustration of not being able to win in the game.

When you talk to your child is highly recommended, so that there is good communication between you and him, this would help your child see the behavior you do when you play with him in the game, this allows the child to take your attitudes and see that you do not bother when you lose, this would give you more confidence and you can feel better.

A lot of responsibility falls on us when it comes to educating our children, both in behavior and responsibility, which are the most prevalent in the school.

There are many children who take negative attitudes in school and this is produced by the games they play in their videogame, that is why it is very delicate when there is no supervision as such, at the moment of beating they try to reflect that superhero who they manipulate, they even talk until like them, and this becomes obsession in them.
