Playing Video Game Impact Child Reflexes

Video games are becoming a useful tool for improving the hand-eye coordination of children as well as adults who play them. Some of the most popular and useful are racing or driving video games. Studies prove that repetitive playing of these fast-paced games cuts reaction times and improve reflexes and other motor skills. In many children, playing these games on a regular basis will even improve cognitive and social skills.

The use of video games as opposed to using specific exercises that perform the same objectives is more fun for the kids without imposing a structured environment of repetitive movement exercises. Playing driving or racing video games requires the child to perform repetitive movement and visual acuity tasks subconsciously in order to gain a higher game score. Without realizing it, the child is learning specific tasks and movements that help to improve visual responses, hand-eye coordination and other motor skills.

Game playing helps with problem solving, including overcoming obstacles, formulating strategies and goal achievement. Another benefit to gaining improved responses and hand-eye coordination will become evident when the child reaches driving age. Playing racing and driving video games may also save you some money. Along with the benefits already stated, driving games do not require purchasing car insurance. Therefore, as the child gains the necessary skills required for real time driving through playing video games, he will help with the family finances.

One final point is that with the newly developed and improved reflexes and reaction times, playing video games will help new drivers to avoid possible dangerous situations on the road. In turn, this will help to keep the family car insurance premiums down.
