| For the majority of American children and teenagers, video games are in integral part of their experience growing up. They are often viewed negatively by the general public as violence producing, isolating, time wasters with little to no positive outcome. Research, on the other hand, shows there are many positive outcomes as a result for those who engage in healthy video game play. There are ways to educate parents about the reality of video games as well as how to parent games to maximize the positive effects of the games their children play. If done correctly, parents can facilitate and encourage young minds to take video games to the next level for their skill set today and their future. |
