Benefits of Video Games
Today's children prefer to play video games or computer
games and watch television, rather than playing with their peers
and family members, which often becomes a constant source of
anxiety for their parents. Out of all these, video games are one of
the most popular sources of entertainment for children and
teenagers. But very often, video games are on the receiving end of
many studies and researches, that allege that video games play a
significant role in instilling violent and aggressive behavior in
children and teenagers. However, several other scientific studies
have indicated that this popular entertainment medium can have
several beneficial effects if used in moderation. So it is the
responsibility of the parents to maximize the benefits of video
games by minimizing its harmful effects.
Benefits of Video Games
It is true that video games, especially those depicting violence
and aggression, have the possibility of inducing behavioral changes
in children by affecting their psychology. But many researches have
pointed out, that if video games are used properly, they can have
beneficial effects in countering attention deficit disorder among
children. This is because video games are quite engrossing in
nature and they require active participation of the player.
Therefore, one needs more attention and concentration for playing
video games, which can be effective in alleviating attention
deficit disorder. This benefit of video games may also positively
affect their academic performance.
Playing video games is just like an exercise of the mind and
therefore, it can sharpen the brain, just as physical exercise
keeps our body healthy and fit. Studies in this regard have found
that our brains respond to changes in environment and experience
and this responsiveness has been found to be higher in the early
developmental stages. So video games can have a beneficial effect
on the mental development of a child. Playing video games also
requires a proper understanding of the rules, limits, goals and
controls of the game, which can enhance a child's cognitive
abilities, which can have several educational benefits. The
important educational benefits of video games are improvement in
perception, learning and reasoning.
Video games can enhance problem solving, quick thinking, attention
to detail, multitasking and decision making abilities of children
and youngsters. It can significantly improve motor skills, like
hand-eye coordination, which can be beneficial in the future. By
improving dexterity, flexibility, adaptability and coordination,
video games can increase the efficiency of children in solving real
life problems. It can also instill cooperation and team spirit
among teenagers and children, when played with others.
Nowadays, many educational video games are available, with the help
of which the parents can take advantage of their child's growing
interest for video games, to help improve their academic
performance. A serious allegation against video games is that their
popularity has considerably reduced physical activity among
children. However, parents can negate this adverse effect by
choosing those games which involve physical activity.
As far as inducing violent behavior is concerned, parents can
choose non-violent games for their children and the ratings of
different games can be of great help in this regard. However,
moderation is also required, as playing video games for too long
can result in social isolation, obesity and nerve and muscular
disorders. So limit the playing of video games and also give them
other options of entertainment for their overall physical and
mental development. Hence, parents have an important role to play
to ensure that the harmful effects do not undermine the benefits of
video games.
