    Playing educational computer games at a young age may negatively impact children's health and development in several ways. Young children between the ages of 2 to 8 have bodies and brains that are still developing, so excessive screen time can cause short-sightedness from eye strain and interfere with growth. Young kids also lack self-control, making them more susceptible to video game addiction where they spend hours playing and neglect other important activities, negatively impacting their mental health. The document provides the example of a 7-year-old cousin who spends hours each day on an iPad for schoolwork but has become isolated, talks less, and has rapidly worsening nearsightedness requiring thick glasses.

    I agree with Andrew that the idea of very young children playing educational computer games is inappropriate

    because it may have negative effect on children’s health. It is evident that children aged from 2 to 8 years haven’t
    developed their bodies completely especially for eyes and brains. Watching screens for a long time can cause
    short-sighted eyes. The emissions of blue lights can also interfere with children’s growing. Besides, children who
    have young age are also lack of basic self-control. So it is easy for them to get addicted to “video games”, which
    makes them achieve opposite purpose. Kids may spend hours playing the games and forget other important
    things to do. This could bring negative effect on their mental health as well. For instance, my young cousin who
    is only 7 years old is allowed to use electronic devices to study everyday. He could learn English words and
    reading English passages with it. However, he often spend a lot of time on the devices. As soon as he arrive at
    home after school, he rushed to his room and gets his iPad and plays for hours. He is totally attracted by
    fantastic design of those study apps with reward mechanism or competition. My aunt is worried because he
    seldom comes out except having meals. He also talks less and stays alone. After a few months, my cousin’s
    shortsightedness went from 100 degrees to 200 degrees. He has to wear thick glasses everyday.
