Companies now make computer games designed to help very young children learn. The games are advertised for use by children aged 2 to 8 years and often involve basic math and reading skills. presented in a fun, game-like style. Some people say that this results in children spending too much time looking at computer screens. Do you think it’s a good idea for very young children to play educational computer games? Why or why not?

I think it’s completely inappropriate for children as young as 2 years old to play what are essentially video games. Even if the games are educational, the same skills can be taught in traditional ways—by reading books to children. for example. And it would be beneficial to interact with their parents in this way.

Considering how important computers are to human societies these days, I think it actually makes sense to allow very young children to explore them. And if the computer games that children play also give them early access to subject matter that will later be taught in school, all the better.

From my perspective, I strongly believe that relying on educational games as the primary learning tool for children is inadvisable. This stance aligns with Andrew's viewpoint. Additionally, I argue that although educational games aim to engage and motivate learners, there is a risk that students may become overly focused on the gameplay rather than the educational content. This excessive emphasis on gaming or dependence on games for learning can lead to distractions and a reduction in attention to other vital educational facets.

While Claire emphasized the benefits of introducing young children to computers and educational games for early exposure to academic subjects, she overlooked the fact that early childhood is a crucial period for development in areas like social skills, physical activity, and sensory experiences. Excessive screen time, including computer use, can hinder development in these critical areas.

In my opinion, relying exclusively on educational games as the primary educational tool for children is not recommended.
