Positive Effects of games:
Games are looked down upon by
parents as time-wasters.
Worse, some education experts think that these
games corrupt the brain.
Violent games are
readily blamed by the media and some experts as the reason why some youth
become violent or commit extreme anti-social behavior. Such games are counter
strike ,Gods of war,GTA. Many scientists and psychologists find that video
games can actually have many benefits – the main one being making kids smart.Games
may actually teach kids high-level thinking skills that they will need in the
future by playing games like chess and
other strategy gmaes.
When
your child play video games, it gives his brain a real workout. In many
video games, the skills required to win involve abstract and high level
thinking. These skills are not even taught at school. Some of the
mental skills trained by video games include:
o Following
instructions
o Problem solving and logic
o Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills.
o Problem solving and logic
o Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills.
In
shooting games, the character may be running and shooting at the same time.
This requires the real-world player to keep track of the position of the
character, where he/she is heading, their speed, where the gun is aiming, if
the gunfire is hitting the enemy, and so on. All these factors need to be taken
into account, and then the player must then coordinate the brain's
interpretation and reaction with the movement in their hands and fingertips.
This process requires a great deal of eye-hand coordination and visual-spatial
ability to be successful
Resource management and logistics: Mind
teaches ourselves how to manage resources
when it is limited.examples of this type of games are travian ,Age of
Empire ,Locomotion,Transport Giant etc.
Multitasking, simultaneous tracking of many
shifting variables and managing multiple objectives:
In
strategy games, for instance, while developing a city, an unexpected surprise
like an enemy might emerge. This forces the player to be flexible and
quickly change tactics.
Quick thinking, making fast analysis and
decisions: Sometimes the player does this almost every second
of the game giving the brain a real workout. The study suggests that playing
action video games primes the brain to make quick decisions. Video games can be used to train soldiers and surgeons, according
to the study.
Developing reading and math
skills:
using math skills is important to win in many games that involves quantitative
analysis like managing resources.
Estimating skills
Pattern recognition
Perseverance: In higher levels
of a game, players usually fail the first time around, but they keep on trying
until they succeed and move on to the next level this teaches mind not to give
up in middle of something.
Mapping :Gamers use in-game
maps or build maps on their heads to navigate around virtual worlds.This mapping
skills also be used in real games.
Taking
risks
Memory
Reasoned judgments
How to respond to challenges
How to respond to frustrations
How to explore and rethink goals
Teamwork and cooperation when played with
others : many games are played online and involve cooperation
with other online players in order to win like counter strike and Age of empire
,travian.
Video
games increase your kid’s self-confidence and self-esteem as he masters games.
Playing
video games is safer than having your teens do drugs, alcohol and street racing
in the real world.
Negative Effects of Games:
Most
of the bad effects of video games are blamed on the violence they
contain. Children who play more violent video games are more likely to
have increased aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and decreased
prosocial helping,
Too much video game playing makes your kid
socially isolated.
Some
video games teach kids the wrong values. Violent behavior, vengeance and
aggression are rewarded
Games
can confuse reality and fantasy.
Academic
achievement may be negatively related to over-all time spent playing video
games. Studies have shown that the more time a kid spends playing video games,
the poorer is his performance in school.
When

people, and may make your kid vulnerable to online dangers.
