Why Video Games Are Good For Kids?


Video games are played with just one aim, to win, to win and to win!!!! Video games are the best ways of using ensuring that your kids use their full ability to defeat their opponents, whether it is the computer or a person. This helps the kid in becoming creative in finding new techniques and tactics. Kids develop eagerness and patience. Children undergoing severe illnesses are subject to playing video games, to distract them away from their suffering. For a kid who studies very hard and who undergoes a lot of stress, video games like Tetris can go a long way in reducing their stress levels. The child learns to take decisions and develops the quality, to access the good and bad of that decision, hence develops a lot of confidence in life.

Learn by doing

A video game depicts real life situations and the child develops the ability to tackle the situation when it actually occurs in his real life. The accurate coordination of his eyes and hands teaches him to view every situation in minute detail. Video games can also help in pain management. Chronic or minor temporary pain from injury or surgery cannot be felt when a kid is playing a video game, thus distracting the child away from the level of pain he is undergoing, hence reducing the use of pain killers. Kids learn money and time management skills at a very young age through these video games and carry these skills with them, as they grow older in age.

Recovery from diseases

Video games have actually helped faster recovery in a cancer patient, especially children.

A game called 'Re-mission" actually gave the child a better understanding of the disease, how the correct medicines taken at a proper time could help in faster recovery. This helped in developing the ability of the child to fight the actual disease physically and mentally.

Improve visual defects

Video games help to improve the visual defects of kids. They help improve the spatial resolution enhancing the ability to see small and closely packed objects. The kid actually focuses on moving objects while playing, thus increasing his concentration levels. Munching in between meals is a major health risk which can be reduced when the child is actually involved in the game. Video games also depict classical stories, helping the kid to enhance his knowledge and interest in literature. A laparoscopic surgeon is said to perform surgery with great precision, if as a kid, he has ever played video games like Super Monkey Ball. This is because of his superb concentration levels.

Understand values and morals

The concept of 'Unity in Diversity" is established in a child's mind as they are exposed to players of other races and nationalities during the game. Young children, whose parents cannot afford to take their kids on a holiday, are entertained by video games, which the kids love to play.
