Video games make learning fun. Your kid likes games because of the colors, the animation, as well as the interactivity and the rewards of winning. Having fun gives your kid motivation to keep on practicing, which is the only way to learn skills.
Video games also increase your kid’s self-confidence and self-esteem as he masters games. In many games, the levels of difficulty are adjustable. As a beginner, your kid begins at the easy level and by constant practicing and slowly building skills, he becomes confident in handling more difficult challenges. Since the cost of failure is lower, he does not fear making mistakes. He takes more risks and explores more.
