If you are talking about the Internet gaming (video games), than yes it is. Did you ever hear about the Counter-Strike? It is a game where terrorists and special squad soldiers fight, shoot, and kill with knife each other. The terms that were listed destroy children’s psychic. Many of them can play it for hours and even for days. It leads to not distinguishing the real life from virtual. According to Dr. Villani’s (Medical Director, School Programs, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Baltimore) researches video games increase violent and aggressive behavior, high-risk behaviors, alcohol and tobacco use. So as for me parents should keep children safe and not allow them video games.

i guess gaming is not dangerous if used in minimal way but kids now a days are so addicted to games that they forget the other way of passing time(Reading books etc)

Never blame the kids. A child can be moulded the way you want only if you can travel on that road yourself, and that shud begin the moment the baby is born. Parenting is an art and the child greatest need is the parents presence and their company rather than the kids stuff thats flooding the market. Parents now are too busy with their own lives giving scant attention to the pshycological needs of the child who is constantly yearning for it. spending on kids stuff is no match when you are with your child trying to understand his needs and watch him grow up. Most of the parents protect the child but do not CARE. There must be constant communication flowing between the parent and the child. Its a fascinating journey only if the parents understand that a child is a bundle of emotions and aspirations and treat the child as equal. Remember the child is the father of the man. If this is absent , blame yourself not the kids.

"Ideas don't stay in some minds very long because they don't like solitary confinement." do you know many of the simulations are performed today are by the help of gaming industry for example how a tsunami behaves is how much destruction is shown in the games it self it makes children aware how much terrorism is bad for example games like call of duty makes people love their country once again every time they play to save it or make people as one while playing online making us forget who is from india or us we play to win not to make our heads go crazy i am not saying to start buying games right now but its matter of development dont take the toy's away from children make it look even more attractive for example games like star craft or Warcraft make children's better strategist and develop leadership skills .

All I like to say is gaming is not that dangerous to children. Gaming is an art it gives creativity. Because of the gaming most of the children are very active in their day to day life. Gaming teach how to plan, how to over come an situation and most importantly gamer always gaol oriented to complete it. It make children always fresh. after a heavy day game try to make child relax. Its like utilizing the brain.
