Video gaming is also bad for your brain. If the child is young, it may scare them to play violent video games, and it also may lead to a bad attitude, or make them feel like hurting someone in real life. If your friend or your child is playing video games too much, go outside with them and ride bikes with him/her. If you don't have a bike, then you could fly kites, or just take a stroll. If you have a trampoline or a neighborhood pool, you can go swim or jump with them to let them get exercise. If you find yourself video gaming too much, try to stop. If you cannot because it is too addictive, contact an addiction relief center.
