Many parents these days are reluctant to let their children to go out to play on their own because of safety issues. So what can children do instead? With our busy lifestyles, parents can find it difficult keeping their children entertained, especially during the holidays. One activity parents opt for and children love is to play computer games. The children are occupied and parents/carers can get on with other jobs. Is this you? Do you let your children play computer games for a long periods of time and ignore age restrictions, it can be very easy to slip into this kind of routine, but how does it impact our children?
Interesting research shows that kids who play more computer games could develop attention and concentration problems - causing them to make silly mistakes in their work and sustaining attention when a subject is difficult or boring.
Many teachers are also concerned about the impact violent computer games can have on young minds. If children are also playing computer games in their rooms till late at night, they will be also be too tired to concentrate at school.
Playing computer games could also have an effect on a child's social development and the amount of exercise they will be getting.

"Amazing site just renewed my subscription for the second year. This site is well structured and has helped to assure me that the work we do at home co-ordinates and strengthens the work done at school."
"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!
As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.
I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."
