I can not help but think that, as a semi-gamer myself, video games do help children. This video is about Guitar hero. and the world record. I am an avid guitar hero player and I know personally it has taught me better hand eye coordination. I also know that the other video games I play have taught me great things, like how to multi-task and read while doing something else. In todays day and age I think that reading while also doing something else is a task that every child needs. I cant seem to find a better way then video games. This keeps the minds active as well as helps them develop reading skills.
