Most of the parents now are having a headache in directing their children away from game or from phone. But does phone or game is just a bad effect for their users?
As a parent most of us would like to see our kids study or play outside to see the world not just playing some video game, or phone games for hours inside the house. But for me there are some other good side of this so called bad games.
Kids that play games on the phone or console will have a better understanding in solving things which needs creativity or most of the times they will understand the sign much faster, as there are some sign in video games which resemble the sign in the real life.
Some of them who played multiplayer online games might also having a better skill in cooperating. Because to win the games they need to cooperate and coordinate one another.
Also most the player who wants to try more adventure and join international server, they would likely to learn English or other language faster, because they will learn the language when they interact one another in the game.
And if your kids really has a talent and could be seen by the professional e-sport teams, they can be recruited and could become an e-sports athlete. And some of those athlete are being paid very well, even more then the regular white collar workers.
So next time whenever you see your kids playing a lot of games, instead of scolding them, i think it is better to just give them guidance so that their gaming times is not just a waste of time.
