For me personally, I would like to agree that throughout activities in open places are way better for children’s development. There are several reasons and personal experience related that I will write on this essay.

From my experience, doing outdoor activities with friends will build kids emotion on engage with people who around their age. Children who often gather in the society will easily adapt with other people. Humans are unique and different one to another, there is no other way to understand each other without real interaction. Now, I will describe more reasons related to the positive impact from playing outside.

First, gadget is dangerous if being used often. It has blue light that could affects people sight include kids. If we want to take care of our kids eyes, it’s better to reduce the use of gadget or videogames.
Second, there are more interesting and diverse conditions that could be found outside instead of only focus on computer screen. Parents teach kids about stuff, animals or plants that possibly seen while walk around the residents. Kids can learn a lot from the environment and it is more fun rather than only seen from the internet without looking the real shape.
Third, there are some activities that can be done outside such as sport, gardening, playing with friends, hanging out, etc. Those are gain plus value like good for health, help to take care the environment or become close with other kids.

This topic sum up that instead of videogames, external activities carry more positive impacts for children’s development and improvement. Plus it could be good to take care of their health if they do activity like sport.
