I'm gonna tell you something nobody else on xo knows: I'm a hardcore gamer and play video games every day. And the reason I have thorough knowledge and information on various sciences and history is because I game. Playing a video game is no more of a time sink than reading a novel, and it can be interesting to learn about the world around them through interactive games that have informational mechanics. I learned circuitry from Minecraft. I know hundreds of plants, herbs, weeds, and trees from playing Skyrim and RDR2. I know the nutritional value of specific foods in the wilderness, if I were to need to eat them. I have learned gravitational effects, kinetic energy, and inertia from simulators. I have learned more about World War II from COD than in any history class. I have learned specific chemical reactions and how to trigger them with each substance. I have learned more from video games than from books, and that is fact. Video games also innovate the player by releasing their imagination and letting them do things in-game without real-world consequences. It can be an escape from the horrors of daily life, or an effective way to relax and enjoy yourself. There have also been studies that show the majority of gamers thinking in a more intuitive fashion and having advanced teamwork skills from online gaming and strategy games. Your child is lucky to be a gamer, but very unlucky to have his lifestyle changed because of another person's opinions.
