Task 2: Write an article about parents limiting social media and gaming. (6 pts)

Why Do Parents Limit Social Media and Gaming Time?

Many parents limit the time their children spend on social media and video games. There are several reasons for this.

First, parents worry about their children’s studies, because too much gaming makes them lose focus and get low marks. Second, long hours in front of a screen are bad for health: they cause eye problems, lack of sleep and lack of exercise. Moreover, some websites contain violent or inappropriate content, and parents want to protect their children from online dangers.

In my opinion, parents are right to set rules, as long as they explain their reasons and allow reasonable time for fun.
