Don’t play violence video games if you don’t like them.

Monitor how long they play each day and how many times a week they play.

Stick to the age appropriate games according to the ratings.

Play the game with your child so that you can understand the game more.

Conclusion

In conclusion violent video games don’t cause children to become violent but the continual nonstop playing does and leads them to do stupid things and even kill people, and to prevent this only play the games that are rated appropriate for your age group and/or maturity.
