- Playing video games is no criteria for the aggression in the children. Not every child have the same liking for the type of video games. The games have a wide range which varies according to the age, intellect, preference of the person playing.
It is not mandatory for every child to play the game of rage and violence. Children might like some simple games as well. Playing the games with the targets set, improves the efficiency of the children and their observing capacity. It also increases the reactionary power of the individual. But this cannot lead to any sort of violent behaviour.
On the contrary, the child which is already aggressive and violent will have the liking for similar type of games. Children are much sharp than elders now-a-days, and they know the games and apps, and download the game as per their wish. Hence, to conclude, we can say that the video games have no role to play in the violent behaviour of the children.
