At home where I had a desktop, I spent many evenings with Mario and that little game invented by a Russian. Needless to say, my electric bill doubled.
Many parents may frown at their kids spending so much time playing. To them the wasted time could have been better spent studying and doing research. I agree that excessive gaming is not a good thing and may lead to addiction. As in anything else, moderation and discipline should be applied.
However, I have to tell these parents that they should not totally rule out games. There is a lot to be said about learning from games.
- Games can help improve hand-eye coordination.
- Games can introduce kids to concepts. Kids would be more appreciative of the idea in the relaxed environment of a game.
- Games can show kids real life hazardous situations without exposing them to the actual dangers.
So will you stop gour kid from playing¿Wwhy not look for good games instead. Once in your life you were also a kid.
