how game affects in children's education?

To be successful, of course we need to work hard. But every person also needs to refresh himself/herself, especially for the children. Children can’t be forced to study all of the time. They need a facility to refresh their mind. One of the facilities that can be given to them is game.
But some parents say that, “Game is not good for children because it can make them lazy and become rebellious. And it may lead them to the bad environment.” Is these true? I guess it isn’t entirely true, why?
Before I’m going to explain the cause, I’ll give you the limitation of these problems. If we heard the word “game”, the first meaning we think of is “permainan”. Base on this meaning, so the function of game is for relaxation and having fun. Game has many types, and every type has positive and negative aspects.
The negative aspects depend on the type of game they play. Some games like shooting and action games can make the children become rude because the scenes which show the bloody murder or the sex action. Maybe the children feel it’s very cool but for the parents it’s very terrible and it’s not good. It can affect the children to become violent and hot-tempered. It’s so dangerous for the children.

However, we should remember that not all of the games give the negative aspects to the children. Some games are good for their knowledge. It can make them smarter and if they get a problem in their live, it’s hoped that they can use their ability to solve it by themselves creatively. Parents shouldn’t be afraid of giving their children games to play. If they are afraid, the can give them game like game house games in the pc. It’s a small dame but it’s much better to train them to be patient and not to give up easily when they face a problem.
Another positive aspect of game is it gives children relaxation. As we know, nowadays, they have many assignments and homework from school, so it can make them get stressed. Thus, game gives them a balance between study and play. When the students are tired of studying and after that they play a game, their mind is refreshed. With a refreshed mind, they are ready to go back to school to study.
How to solve the negative aspects? The most important thing is the parents’ role. Good parents should control their children activities. So they will know what good activities that they can do and bad activities that they can’t do. The key is parents should accompany their children and be their friends. So the children will learn to be also selective.
In conclusion, games are not always bad. It depends on the types. There are bad games that can affect the children to be violent and hot-tempered. But, some other games are good for supporting educational activities. Some good games train the children to be patient and not to give up easily when they face problems. Good games can also refresh the children’s mind to be ready to study. The most important thing is balance. To play too much game will make the children get addicted and waste their time. To study too much can make the children get stressed.
