How gaming helps you develop skills

Gaming is not always bad. Parents need to realize there are benefits to it while keeping play time limited.

Today I will tell you about how different kind of games can help you in different ways and how they can not only help you get entertained but help you learn a lot of skills.

One thing grown-ups usually don’t like kids to play are survival games. Parents think they are too violent, but some games aren’t that bad. They can teach you how to survive if you are in that situation IRL. Video games don’t just do that, but they can teach you hundreds of things that have absolutely nothing to do with gaming.

An experience I had with gaming is when I got my computer, I was an absolute NOOB at every single game I new about. But after 2 months of being bad at everything, I got better at it!YAY!!!

Reflexes are in a lot of games. This skill can not only be used for more games but it can be used for real life. say you’re in a game like dodgeball. You will have better reflexes to dodge the ball.

Just like reflexes, there are loads of math games with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more. You can get better at math while actually having fun!

Adults think games make you not-social, but the truth is games are also great ways to be with/make friends. If you are lonely, go on multiplayer server and play with other people, or create a private server and play with friends.

That is why video games are the best. if this didn’t help there’s something wrong with you. :)
