Why Allow your Child to Play Computer Games

By Danny Reese


Thinking: no matter what you think about computer games one thing is for sure it will make your child think. This is much different than the console type games that involve only mindless shooting and running around.

Interest: the computer games will allow your child to be focused on something that is challenging and requires thought. This is much different than television or playing games with you that just involve memory or parroting whatever you are doing. Let your child thing on his own and you will be surprised how advanced he already is.

Options: these games require your child to make choices and uncover the consequences of those choices. He spends all day doing whatever you want him to do and no time making his own way. The more decisions your child makes in any given day, the more comfortable he will become solving his own problems.

Dexterity: having your child become used to reacting to circumstances, is a skill that is hard to teach. However, the computer games are an excellent tutorial and your child will inevitably learn how to react to changing conditions.

Technology: by default, your child will learn about computers and how to use them. If you do not think this is an extremely important skill to have, you would be mistaken. By the time he gets to school, the idea of not using computers in the classroom will be completely foreign.

Skills: most games require math and spelling skills and the ability to follow a story. Learning these skills early will make going to school a breeze. Your child will already know most of the curriculum that is taught in school.

End Game: the child will learn how to solve problems and work towards a goal. A good approach is to have your child work on difficult tasks completely independent from you. Do not help him every time he has to pause and thing for himself.

Solitude: it is important to allow your child to be by himself once in a while. This makes them comfortable in his own skin and allows them to grow as a person without your interference. Playing the games is an excellent exercise that allows him to do his own thing completely separate from you.
