Gaming adds colours to life and is a break from tedious and monotonous study or working! In fact adults enjoy and benefit from online or video games just as much as teenagers do.
In online games, the players really communicate with one another, sometimes even from different parts of the World. During the games, they share knowledge, achieve goals and overcome obstacles together as a team. Therefore, peer learning is taking place.
Gamers can enjoy the excitement in the game, develop their mental alertness, sharpen their reflexes and boost their dexterity. Not only does it develop the mental capacity, it also balances the physical development offered by sports and outdoor games.
Multiplayer online games also act as simulation to real life. Teenagers thus learn how to cope with the challengers of relationship and competition. By participating in multiplayer games, they get to build a wider network of friendship after a while.
Some multiplayer online games are also very popular for family members to play together. Parents will understand their teenaged children better through the bonding from playing the games together.
Parents need not worry that their children are merely killing the monsters mindlessly. In fact through these games children encounter another form of learning and relaxation.
Whether they are online or video games, they need to be addictive enough to sustain the gamers’ interest. However, just like any other addictive hobbies, gaming should be enjoyed with moderation in order to avoid obsession.
Happy gaming!
