VIDEO games are primarily created to provide entertainment and education to people most especially to children.
However, through the years since it was first introduced video games proved that it offers more harm and good to the human race especially the human race.
Many children who were hooked in video games suffered a number of negative things in life like lower grades, poor health and "uncool" relationship with family and friends.
To better understand the negative effects of video games addiction to children here are five good reasons why children should avoid this type of games.
1. High chance to suffer emotional disorder symptoms
Children who play too much video games place themselves at risk of suffering from any form of emotional disorder.
2. High chance to suffer behavioural disorder symptoms
Aside from emotions, children hooked on video games are most likely also to have some behaviour or problems pertaining to their attitudes and character.
3. Low memory
A child who often plays on video games has a lower memory than those who occasionally or never plays this type of game at all.
Those young people who play many computer games will have a hard time memorizing than those who are not hooked on video games.
4. Lack of sleep
Those children addicted to video games are also more likely to suffer from lack of sleep.
Since these young people spend too much time playing video games more likely they will have lesser time to sleep.
Children who lacks sleep will suffer greatly physically and his or her performance in school.
5. Risk of violent behaviour
Young people who love to play video games are also at risk of ending up a violent person in the future.
Experts said since most subjects’ video games are full of action and violence there is a possibility that the one who will constantly play it will end up being an aggressor or violent being.
To avoid strong chances of being violent, parents, family and friends this early should forbid your children from playing too much video game.
Children they are the hope of this planet, as the future caretakers of earth the family of these people should strive hard to keep them away from things that can ruin their future like playing too much video game.
Could you please post references to relevant studies to back your claims? Most of them seem to be poorly researched, if at all. This applies to all five points, as they are all put forward as statements of fact without any scientific backing.
For instance your claim about computer games hampering memory in contradicted in multiple studies stating that computer games enhance learning, memory and thinking skills:

As for your claim that playing video games will result in lack of sleep is ridiculous. There, you are already assuming that the child is addicted to playing games. It is of course up to the parents to ensure that any endeavor is not taken to the extreme. The same statement can be used about anything (and it would make as little sense). To take my point to the extreme, I have taken your entire point 4 and replaced "video games" and "playing videogames" with the word "praying":
Those children addicted to praying are also more likely to suffer from lack of sleep. Since these young people spend too much time praying more likely they will have lesser time to sleep. Children who lacks sleep will suffer greatly physically and his or her performance in school.
So in fact point 4 states that lack of sleep is bad. It says nothing about playing video games.
