Scoring High with Video Games

Gaming is also thought to help develop hand-eye coordination. Some people believe gaming can assist with problem solving, motivation and cognitive skills. So while video gaming may have its pros and cons, it's important to remember everything in moderation. For starters, if you're going to let your kids play video games, why not steer them away from ones with a violent agenda?
Encourage your kids to take part in educational video and computer games that can help them hone skills they need for their education. Take Tetris for example. One study showed that playing Tetris actually made the brain more efficient. Set a time limit for your child for playing games. Allow him or her to play during that time. The video game console should not be in the children's bedrooms but in another living space. Get the balance right, and everyone, including your children, will be happy.
