Some children play video games for recreational and they still can maintain excellent performance in school. There's a research shows benefit of playing video games. Research by the Queensland University of Technology has found that games can improve thinking ability in children. Games often require children to follow instructions, respond to problems, and consider their actions. It can help develop thinking skills.
Some of online video games can help players developing leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and the ability to deal with unexpected consequences, because they enhance a player's skills of observation, intuitive abilities, alertness, and concentration.
My son loves to play video games as well. We might not realize that video games actually can improve social skills. How come? Online games have created a fun and engaging way of connecting with other players. My son and his friends usually use a platform, it's a VoIP (instant messaging and digital distribution platform), with this tools they can communicate to each other with voice calls, video calls, text messaging, and send media/ files in chats.
Not only children, adults also enjoy playing video games. Posso suggests that students who regularly spend time playing online games are developing analytical and problem-solving skills that can also help them in their schoolwork.
BUT, here is the thing, if we, as parents, can't control children in playing games, of course there are the negative consequences of addiction of playing video games will appear.
- Lack of time for playing outdoor games.
- Isolation from society.
- Detrimental influence on health.
There's also research that implies video games could lead to disrupted sleep, media addiction, and violent behavior*. This is what we all should consider.

So, is it good or bad? and what other benefits of online video game for children? It's so true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand and eye coordination, the mind's ability, information process, and problem solving skills. The bad thing of course if too much video game playing and there's no parental guidance, it may cause some problems. I suggest you to play video games together with your child, because it can improve your child's mood. We sometimes focus and get more attention on the potential dangers than on the benefits of video games. We have to realize that online video games are a normal part of modern childhood these days.
