Video Games are good for Kids:

I am in favor of video games for youth for the following three reasons:

Video games are a great way for kids to have fun in their homes with their parents, siblings and friends. Video games keep kids of the streets and are an efficient way for them to learn and grow at their own pace. That's because playing games involves problem-solvings, achieving goals and overcoming certain obstacles- skills that are equivalent in every day lives. And each day by playing some sort of game kids are learning and growing each day.Kids today show that 1,102 teens- about 97 percent- play some sort of video games, and 65% play with someone either online, or in their home. [|Studies also show that the three most popular types of games are racing, puzzles and sport]s

Does video games change kids behavior?

Parents suggest that video games do change their child's view about other things. Like when they take away a kid's Gameboy, or their PlayStation they deemed that children become more aggressive and angry due to the fact their system was taken away. Most kids enjoy playing their games and enjoy having something entertaining but when an adult takes it away they feel they don't have enough power to go against it. Kid's like video games because it's like a way to escape their real lives.[| Like Television in a way, they wan't to experience other things and video games are it.]

Are there benefits for playing video games?

Today, many popular titles today are M-rated and intended for discerning adults, given the average age of today’s gaming audience. But the vast majority of games can be played by a broad range of ages and still manage to be fun and engaging without resorting to foul language or violence. Older children such as teens and tweens can benefit from gameplay as well. Someday, a video game might even save your life, as games are already benefiting students and practitioners in the medical field too.[| Overall, video games can improve your life, some wont and some will but they will help regardless.]

Some say that video games can trigger anger management issues due to video gaming. This might be true if a child plays Street Fighter or Call of Duty. But what if a kid played Super Mario? or Pokemon? People believe that automatically games can cause anger issues. But depending on the type of game the child is involved which can really make a big difference. Some games can involve the entire family, Like Mario Kart and Mario Party, which purpose is to try to get the family together in a safe environment.

Another topic about video games is Obesity. Obesity is one of the nations biggest health disorder and is brought out to be caused by video games. Adults believe kids are attempted to stay home just to finish a level of a game instead of going outside to ride bikes or to play tag. But it isn't the games fault. It's the parents. If parents are so concerned about health issues and obesity, the parents need to manage their time. Try to get them involved with fun activities involving sports and household activities.
