Brain Exercise Video Games
Video Games, Harmless Entertainment or Brewing addiction?
My son wants a video game or a game console, which means that Nintendo, Sony and Xbox games will have all that go with it. It also wants access to the computer so you can play on the computer too. It is as if it were connected to these games all the time, at least he would be, if allowed. Video games are big business, with over $ 13 billion spent each year on video and computer games. This suggests that a lot of play that is happening. New game titles are expected by players and many are willing to wait in line for a day or two to gain a new system or to spend hours hunting down a new release. Without a doubt, video games toys are attractive, especially for children.
Certainly, parents have long worried about the nature of video game consumption. Hours engaged in front of a screen in the dark, if possible "can not be healthy" for a child. The encouragement to play board games or more traditional or go play is something any child of the electronic age has heard in response to his desire to play their games. But is there any danger in video games? You can overdo any activity, even the good ones. You can too much sleep, excessive exercise and no doubt we can eat too much for what it is without doubt the possibility play video games excessively. But too much can be difficult to define. Clearly, three to four hours a day every day would be viewed as excessive by the majority, but what about three or four hours on weekends? Should we tell her if you can play right through, or even if there are considerable stretches of time between sessions? Is it too much if there is no real impact on the child and demonstrative their behavior, attitudes and performance? There is also variability in children to consider, some are more easily affected by the game than others.
There is growing evidence that video games can be good and bad. Video games can teach certain skills such as cooperation, strategy and team building as well as some exposure to technology that is ubiquitous in the world today. The new Wii is showing some benefits in terms of physical activity and being used by some physical therapists. Do a Google search on the benefits of video games and find reputable articles discuss the benefits of video games. But the dangers are there too. It is beyond doubt, well-documented that violence on television violence affects children. Although there is little research on the connection between videogames and violence, may be the link weaker than it is on TV? A game where your character gets involved in violence needs to be as influential as television. But the dangers seem go beyond the possible influence of these games may have on the character.
A recent study by Stanford University showed that the brains of males responding to video game play rather than the brains of females, and increased brain activity was in the brain's pleasure center. Although the number of participants was small (under 25), this research shows that games have an effect on the brain. Other researchers suggest that games influence the development of brain to the negative and too much time in front of a screen makes children more easily distracting and increases the difficulty to stay still. The ever Again, the diagnosis of disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity may suggest that the number of hours in front of very stimulating objects can compromise ability of our children to be attentive and engaged in a low voice. Computer and video games only add to this problem. And there is the issue of addiction to video games.
While the American Medical Association has decided that there is insufficient evidence to declare excessive video game addiction is only because of a lack sufficient investigation. There are many who believe in time, excessive video gaming is a recognized disorder. There are clinics that are beginning to offer treatment for gambling addiction and there are support groups begin to form to tackle the issue. The addiction seems to present itself more often with related games online communities.
These games usually involve character development. These characters can develop the skills and capacities and build weapons and other goods that are valuable in the game world. The development of these characters have many hours to develop and make the game very absorbent. Combined with the ability to interact with others, these online games are a sort of alternate world in which many escape. There have been recent stories of divorce, health problems, child neglect and even mortality associated with these games in particular. Is your child addicted? Ask yourself the following questions –
Does your child:
or play almost all days?
and often play for long periods (more than 3-4 hours each time)?
play or for entertainment?
or get restless and irritable when they can not play?
or sacrifice social and sporting activities?
or playing games instead of doing homework?
or Try to reduce your game, but can not?
or Play for increasing amounts of time?
Thinking about the game or during other activities?
Games or to escape the real problems of life, anxiety or depression?
or lie to friends and family to hide game?
Feeling irritable or when it is reduce the game?
Answering yes to four or more of these questions suggests that there may be a problem. If there is a problem what can you do about it what? Here are some resources to get your started on the control of their loved one potential problem.
