WHY IT's GOOD

  • encourage teamwork and cooperation when played with others.




  • make kids feel comfortable with technology—particularly important for girls, who don't use technology as much as boys .




  • increase children's self-confidence and self-esteem as they master games.




  • provide points of common interest and opportunities for socialization.




  • develop skills in reading, math, technology and problem-solving .




  • encourage participation in related offline activities, such as reading or sports.




  • encourage civic participation .




  • improve hand-eye co-ordination and fine motor skills.




    • WHY IT's BAD


  • Video games may also have bad effects on some children’s health.



  • Games can confuse reality and fantasy.



  • Some video games teach kids the wrong values.



  • Video games do not exercise your kid’s imaginative thinking.



  • Too much video game playing makes your kid socially isolated.

      good points. ive been a big video game fan, (for a girl that is), for a while. I don't agree that it keeps you socially isolated or that it doesnt exercise your kids imaginative thinking. I love being able to play online with other people which keeps it very social. Also, video games are a FORM of creativity. You still develop skills, (even if they arn't relevant to real life) it still has to help you in some way right?
