Unicef and Lego join forces to demonstrate how video games improve children’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The research found digital games can indeed contribute to the wellbeing of children. They can allow children to experience a sense of control, to have freedom of choice, to experience mastery and feelings of achievement. Digital games can support children in experiencing and regulating emotions and help them feel connected to others and manage those social connections.
