Online gaming should be encouraged among children.

Miniclip, zapak, facebook ( games, only ), freeonlinegames, myplaycity, sandlot, ea, ubisoft, indiagames, ibibo, etc. are some very popular online gaming sites. With mind-boggling online games, these sites are enjoying increasing popularity. You sit at one place, and you cando all sorts : from building your own empire to playing billiards. But can these replace old-school cycling, soccer games and cricket ? You decide.

Why/why not  should any of these be encouraged ?

Ya, it should be because its fun and in this day and age can teach strategy and quick thinking, if you play the right games of course. I say it should be mandatory children learn how to play risk and chess.

Depending on the maturity of the game.

I'm not about to hand Bobby Jr. a copy of Battlefield 3.

People have made good points on both sides but I think that it should be a no. It can teach us how to make good strategies and cooperate and trades and teamwork but it can also start the beginnings of an addict. It can teach us how to waste our time and procrastinate with more important things than being in a pixel world. If adults have a hard time controlling themselves how are children supposed to!

Well,what you are saying is true but in my view children should learn to guide themselves, control their own self !! That's the only way they can become mature.

As all we know, major part of games in internet has no sense, they are only for entertainment. In my point of view, it means that children by playing games will not increase their intellectual abilities, on the contrary, they will just spend time, having fun and getting no knoweldge and useful things

as we all understand children are future generation and they should become mature and more realistic. From the young age they should start prepareing themselves for the future challnges and do more productive activities such as watching good educating cartoon, read kind tales and so on.... game is also necessary only half or one hour per two days. There are must be different positive activities and there is a risk for them to be edicted to games just like edults do to the social nets.
