Video games as a brain development tool

Today the way we see video games has changed, I remember a few years ago when we simply positioned video games as a way to de-stress, a prize or even a waste of time, but currently these have become a great ally if we talk about brain development.

Has been shown (by the Open University of Catalonia) that video games help our brain to continue developing in other areas, just as if we were doing a mathematical equation, where they also help us form, from playing a video game to an operation, some racing or even putting together a strategy, What do I want to focus on in this article?.

Let's put ourselves in context a bit, If we look up the word strategy in the dictionary, tells us what strategy it is: “The art of planning and directing military operations, to combine the movement of the troops until the moment of the battle, strategy is science, and tactic of art”. In the vast majority of video games you need a strategy to win, either defeat the enemy in front of you, either to solve the greatest number of mathematical equations in a minute and so you could give me and give examples, but the end of everything is to put together a good strategy to be the winner in the end.

If we take this or see it from the point of view of an entrepreneur, would be to find the best strategy to position a product in the market, either with advertising, giving away samples or in some other way; That the person in whom the product is directed likes it and thus sell it, but also what happens when there are similar products on the market, is to look for the best strategy so that they can see that my product is better than the others.

maybe you're thinking, Alright, but I am not in charge of selling products, It doesn't matter, you will always look for the best strategy for what you do, whether you work teaching, You will look for the best way to teach the class so that the student learns easily, if you work from home, You will look for a way to finish faster with the earrings, or if you do field work, You are going to think which strategy is better to try to see a greater number of people in less time, back to the main topic, If we let children play videogames from a young age, we help them to have a more comprehensive education, allowing them to develop areas of the brain that they might develop when they are older.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know what about all kinds of video games, but our duty as parents is to know how to guide and educate, As it was mentioned already, this would be part of their training not instead of, I am not saying that the child plays all day or does that instead of going to school, but, which is part of, and each parent will know how to set limits.

In conclusion, Video games are more than just to entertain and it is good that from a young age they have stimulation in their brain in areas that would develop when they were older, I also clarify that each video game has its age range, Being cautious in that is also good and so little by little it will serve you, Another way we could help them would be to give them real life examples., for example, tell them to think about the best way they could finish their homework faster and more efficiently, In addition, here we only address the strategy, but there are more actions in which videogames can help us.
