This Is Your Child's Brain on Videogames | WSJ
As many parents know, turning off a child’s gaming console in the middle of gameplay is a surefire way to trigger a tantrum. WSJ Family & Tech columnist Julie Jargon explains why.

Imagine being playing that final part of the game where you fight against a final boss and can’t save. *Someone appears and unplugs de PC, console or whatever without saying anything to de player*
Wouldn’t better to let the player finish the game and then unplug?
I’m not happy when I spend 45 minutes in a Minecraft bedwars game just for someone to come over and then off the computer or the internet
And to someone who ask some stranger to hack WSJ computer must have been addicted
You stop now I’m a gaming and I’m a kid fu
you dont know anything about gamers, streaming, doing youtube, and other stuff are their lives, dont force anyone to be this, cause they will have something that they really like
Publicly shaming your children like this should be a crime.
4:33 exactly what they don’t understand
Im a kid and i stop playing games and my brother is keep on playing
Like no one is upset when you interrupt someone in the middle of doing something and basically waste all of the progress they’ve made. These old geezers are just jealous because they had to read books when it would rain instead of getting the epic Fortnite dub. Also this is made by a high budget newspaper who can pay any scientist to make false info to support their point.
Ok I am going to go back to playing paper mario 64, bye.
Try messing up the deck of poker "players".
I feel bad for the kid at the end. He didn’t save his progress and his parents were like “oH YeAh BE a GoOD iDeA To UnPlUG A gAmE tHaT mY cHilD HAS BEEN SPENDING FOR 4 HOURS”.
Try not to take things or turn off devices abruptly! Give them warning and warnings and warnings then stand in between them and the tv or iPad and demand to hand over the remotes. My son 9/10 does it.
I hope our Parents watch this and understand this video -_-
0:37 thats a terrifying smile ngl
I’d be like really just stop and be chill
people said video game can have a high death rate but….

so karen or ducking people who think videogame is the dangerous thing just remember that you only seeing on one side
1:fuck off
2:games are to spent time for fun
3:we are not mental as yall
4:fuck off again
Im gamer but im not like that 70%of gamers not like that
why do children react so badly? because its not reading a book, you cant go straight back to where you left off in a game of ortnite
If you broke my Lego arctic set I’d be just as angry if my pc was taken away from me, I do rage a lot but I don’t take it out on my parents, WSJ has made so many errors in this video
Also why didn’t you censor their faces? Bit of a breach of privacy if you ask me
I think they are right because kids always like to play games on pc or console
Because playing video games is worse then the emotional trauma of having a viral embarrassing video of your self posted and going viral I can almost guarantee that these kids classmates bully them for these videos and if the child kills them self from the bullying let’s blame video games not the parents
Ok boomer
Okay Karen
Lol
I’m pretty sure every kid would be mad if a camera was shoved into their face after getting angry for their parents unplugging the console
If my parents did this and they dont which is nice i would start the game over again and look them in the eyes to make them know i hate them for doing that
Nice work parents shaming your kids on the internet…
"take their book away" "take their lego away" no i think it would be more accurate to say that you destroy their lego creation and force them to read a book they were in the middle of from the beginning. Boomers dont understand video games also stop being cruel to your kids whats wrong with you?
Yall suck
You are the biggest Karen that have ever walked on this Earth, you have spent a lot of money thousands of dollars only to prove how Karen you are, are you happy now Karen
Maybe because all your saved date is lost
They are always boomers huh.
How come you decided to choose literally the most extreme kids, first of all?
0:54 "That was my game to get into the overwatch league" That’s definitely not true but that’s still soul crushing if he thinks that his parent ruined his chance to make it big
What does this have to do with video games ;-;
maybe you should say to the parents let us slowly get used to not playing that much not just smash the thing that’s too much for 1 single day then you complain why aren’t we not used to it you treat us like animals "Maybe i should do this and it will stop." it can be hard to control your kid but smashing the console is no way, just ask him or unplug it and say to him you can’t play to 9:00 you can only play to 8:30pm" then keep doing that every week until he gets used to 8:00 or 7:00pm and he will get used to it. AND EVEN IF YOU THINK ABOUT SMASHING THE CONSOLE BECAUSE "IT’S TO COMPLICATED AND DEATH TO CONSOLES" YOU’RE NOT GETTING YOUR CHILD BACK. DON’T SMASH HIS CONSOLE THIS IS THE 20TH TIME.
The only thing that makes us violent is lag and parents annoying us. But obviously i ainta child to react like those
They have to get a life
Kids Who Are Good at Video Games Are Good at Learning. But Schools Need to Adapt, click here know more https://www.allmomclub.com/kids-who-are-good-at-video-games-are-good-at-learning-but-schools-need-to-adapt/
I thought that they were going to say that games are the worst things
Ok dude when will all these boomers understand that it’s like EVERYTHING in life. You can literally be addicted to bricks like tf dude.
These idiots are literally saying if you get angry at something you cherish being destroyed “your frontal cortex isn’t developed”
If you show emotion “your frontal cortex isn developed”
So what bro
Reality=The Dislikes Are From Gamers….and Likes are from our Moms😂
Unplug a dad’s TV whilst he watches football and see what happens
I rage when someone cut me in online game
Stoopid video. What if you were almost gonna finish editing this video but someone unplugs the pc without saving? That’s how it feels. *F A K*
So this whole thing is just saying….treat videogames like any other passtime…what a waste.
