Samantha warned Nick, her 5 year little kido, to immediately turn off the mobile game, else she would complain to his Dad and then, Dad will ‘teach him a lesson’! Unfazed by her remarks, Nick continued his Car chase, “ Mom, just two mare stages and I shall beat my previous best…”
Mom was unimpressed, she didn’t cared about the scores and standings of a stupid mobile game; she was more concerned about the eyes and health of his kido. It was well over two hours and Nick has not done anything except facing the mobile screen and murmuring and shouting “Yes… No… Oh…” every now and then. She was about to scream wildly at Nick, when Dad entered the scene. Nick sensed the Savior in Dad, who was experienced enough to understand the situation and more importantly, smart enough to handle it aptly..!
“I will take care of Kido, you just prepare some snacks and shall have a lil family party..” Samantha reluctantly stepped towards kitchen as Nick looked at his Dad admirably; he was then quick to concentrate back to the Car chase. After all, he was about to beat his previous best!
“What’s the score…?… Ah… final stage… yes common Kido…” Mom signed helplessly as she understood that it is useless to reason with them. “Like Father, like son…” she muttered to herself, before entering the living room with snacks and then reluctantly joining them…

Gaming has got Nostalgic Value – Lots of people complain that getting addicted to machines and gadgets would alienate the user and retard his emotions. But the research says otherwise. It has been found that with certain exceptions, the Gamers who spend more time playing games have comparatively more emotional quotient than a normal person. This conclusion is attributed to the fact that most of the people play a game that has got some kind of nostalgic value. They are able to identify something emotional with a certain game and hence they get attached and connected to that particular game. However, this does not profess addiction to gaming. It is good to play a certain game for certain period of time but addiction of anything, including gaming, is always going to have much more hazardous effects than benefits.

Conclusion – We sincerely hope that Samantha has learned a few unaddressed and unexplored advantages of gaming through this article. It is well understandable that addiction to gaming is surely going to be hazardous for health. However, at the same time, Samantha also needs to understand that we live in the world of technology and gadgets and hence we need to adapt ourselves accordingly. If Samantha wants to ensure that Nick enjoys his life and at the same time pays attention to his studies and health, then she would first need to understand the psychology of a child. There is a reason that her husband too is interested in gaming. You have to accept the fact that there is something nice about gaming and once Samantha understands this fact, and starts to enjoy and appreciate the world of gaming, she would be in a better position to advise his child on this subject. At the same time, she would also be able to occasionally enjoy the amazing world of gaming!
