The power of play is the true therapeutic potential for video games.
This article, which is not about video games, outlines the power that applies to all forms of play (including video games).
Play improves children’s abilities to plan, organize, get along with others and regulate emotions. In addition, play helps with language, math and social skills, and even helps children cope with stress.
The latest research shows this is true for adults as well and suggests that rekindling our ability to play is tied to keeping our brains healthy and functioning.
So play, including your favorite video games! Find fun and know that your not just blowing off steam, you are building healthier and more resilient people, including yourself.
