Online Gaming and Videos

Modern Parenthood is at crossroads whether to focus more on the potential benefits or dangers brought about by electronic video games. Most of them tend to concentrate more on the advantages, belittling the benefits posed by the games in developing positive life skills for the kids in the modern times. Video games are a powerful instrument in supplementing classroom teaching and leisure-time games; a view which I fully support.  Johnson (2006) emphasizes that nonliterally skills are as important as those that acquired by reading books in measuring cognitive attributes such as following threads, memory, and attention.  However, knowing and understanding what you are looking for before engaging in a game can help greatly assist in maximizing the benefits that the games bring about.
I started actively engaging in videos and online gaming when I was seven years old. They created a ground upon which I made my first close friends, some of whom I hang out with, up to now. We could play most of the games at a structured time, and most of our conversations focused on the games we played. When we went to the basketball court, we could play emulating new moves we learned in video games.
I could encourage kids under my care to participate in computer games because of the many positive contributions they make in their lives. Janert (2000) argues that besides computer games helping kids make friendships and encourage exercise, they assist them to develop creativity and problem-solving skills, they inspire them to develop the joy of competition, and they teach and inspire in them an interest in understanding different and diverse cultures and history. They uniquely stimulate and explore the central part of the brain evoking and stimulating participatory and social channels to be active (Berk, 2012).
