Common Misconceptions About Games

Common Misconceptions About Games
As baby and children’s games became popular and essential for kids, this interest naturally brought along many questions. 

Rumors that games negatively affect children's development, make them antisocial, or harm their eyesight, have led parents to keep their children away from these games.

However, just like in any other area, there are misconceptions about this topic. The esteemed Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China conducted serious research and listed the common misconceptions about baby and children’s games.

Here are some striking headlines from that list...

MYTH: Baby and children’s games make kids antisocial!
FACT: Antisocial behavior is not solely caused by one factor. It requires considering many components together, such as family structure, personality traits, and social environment compatibility. If the family guides correctly, baby and children’s games can actually help kids and babies socialize.

MYTH: Children who play too many computer games will damage their eyesight. Therefore, they should be kept away from computers. 
FACT: It’s not just games that harm eyesight. Excess of anything can be harmful, and naturally, spending too much time in front of a computer can also damage the eyes. There is no difference between playing games on the computer or doing something else. It’s not the games that harm the eyes, but the excess.

MYTH: Games make children aggressive.
FACT: Seeing games only as violent content is a big misconception. There are countless games that are educational, instructive, and entertaining. Parents should direct their children to appropriate content suitable for their age. With the right guidance, the educational aspect of games can be utilized. (For example, Baby Cleaning Game will positively contribute to your baby developing cleaning habits. Similarly, non-violent games like Zoo Coloring Game will allow your children to learn about animals while enhancing their skills and imagination.) 

MYTH: Games have a hypnotic effect on children and slow down brain development.
FACT: Children’s and babies’ brain development peaks especially between the ages of 0-6. No game can have a hypnotic effect or halt that development. These claims have no scientific basis. 

MYTH: Playing baby games causes children to have sitting and spinal problems.
FACT: There is a misunderstanding here as well. If you constantly seat your children in front of a computer and never supervise them, those problems may arise. But the issue lies not in the game but in the parents. 

MYTH: Babies and children who play ready-made games lose their creativity and become accustomed to being spoon-fed. 
FACT: The opposite is true for baby and children’s games. Children who open the doors to worlds they can’t even imagine through these games naturally develop their imagination and creativity.
