Also pay attention to time spent playing games on smartphones and tablets. Make sure your son has other appealing choices: sports, activities, chances to socialize with friends, and downtime to be creative. If you still have concerns about his video game activity, talk with your doctor.

Internet-enabled games that let kids play with their real-life friends often require collaboration and division of tasks to beat the level. Video games have been shown to help us improve our ability to reason and solve problems. They help us make split-second decisions, process information more quickly, and multitask effectively.
Games can also improve hand-eye coordination and boost auditory perception. Motion-controlled games like the Nintendo Wii were once thought to be the answer to parental concerns about video games leading to obesity.
However, there is some hope in the form of smartphone games that encourage kids to leave the house. Pokemon Go is one example, but your kids may also enjoy the real-life treasure hunt appeal of activities like Geocaching.
Some apps like The Walk , blend storytelling and exercise to get players moving. The Federation of American Scientists FAS argues that kids need to play more video games in order to be competitive in the current job market.
In a report they released in , the FAS said games helped teach higher-order thinking skills like problem solving, interpretive analysis, and more.
While every other study seems to draw opposite conclusions about the social effects of playing violent video games, studies involving brain scans are concerning. Simply put, children playing violent video games show decreased activity in areas of the brain dedicated to self-control and an increase in emotional arousal.
Even though the debate continues, be aware of how violent games affect your children. If you notice a problem, go with your gut.
