I think that video games should be limited for kids . Even though some games can make our social skills better , doing sports is much better overall .
Sports don ’ t harm kids ’ eyes like video games do , and sports are much more effective at giving kids more social skills . If they are a team leader , they can also have a truer sense of leadership than in a video game .
Another reason why video games should be limited is because kids can get addicted too easily to them . It is a very big problem . Playing for hours , not eating or sleeping , just playing games . This harms their bodies and minds significantly .
Video games can harm and destroy peoples lives , so video games should be limited .

The average screen time for kids in America is seven or more hours a day . This is too much . Ideal screen time is about three hours . Too much screen time can be bad for you in many ways , and it can harm you physically and emotionally .
Too much screen time can ruin your social skills . This is caused because you stay in your room for the majority of your time playing video games . You can ’ t socially interact with other people and you won ’ t be as used to communicating with other people .
Kids who are addicted to video games often get bad grades . They often don ’ t feel comfortable joining study groups , and their addiction pulls them away from their studies .

I think that kids should not have a time limit to play video games because video games can help kids develop social skills . Most popular online games require us to talk or chat with other people .
I once talked to people in an online game in Chinese , even though I cannot speak it fluently . This way , my language skill developed .
Many people believe that video game equipment is costly , but I believe the games are worth it , because you paid for your own satisfaction . Plus , you can play free games on your phone .
Games sometimes can influence creativity . Games like Minecraft make you think and make decisions for yourself .
