Contrary to popular belief, there arebenefits for kids who play video games. We know, it's kind of a shock, considering people have been saying video games have been rotting brains for decades. But what are the benefits? Improved coordination and problem-solving skills, to name a couple. Plus, games can even help with ADHD.
Of course, studies have also found negative effects linked to excessive levels of video-gaming, such as one that found high levels of gaming linked to poor social adjustment. In other words, it's probably a fool's errand to figure out, once and for all, if video games are Good or Bad. Rather, they're just a part of life today, like TV, smartphones, and other forms of technology. While there's reason to not give your kids unfettered access to screens, gaming can be part of a kid's 'balanced diet' of free time and play.
But, of course, parents want to make sure that the video games their kids are consuming have positive benefits — and aren't so noisy and frenetic that no one else in the family wants to get near it. To get some guidance for parents shopping for games, SheKnows spoke with Ian Morris, editor at Everybody Plays, a UK-based gaming site. Everybody Plays aims to be a site for everyone (hence the name), from kids all the way to grandparents. And, as it turns out, there's a reason many people might want to seek out a third party reviewing site like Everybody Plays before making a purchase. In both the US and the UK, games come with age ratings (called ESRB ratings in the states), but they can only tell you so much.
'One of the most important things parents have to remember when choosing games is that the age rating on the box (or digital store) is a measure of the content only – not how tricky it is to play,' Morris tells SheKnows. At Everybody Plays, they rate games based on complexity, with their own system, which takes ability levels into consideration. Another way video game ratings are lacking is with how it deals with online play. The ESRB has tried to find ways to let parents know if gameplay involves online interactions, but their current tag is only 'Users Interact.'
'But with the tag apparently covering everything from voice chat through to user-generated levels and ‘media sharing via social media and networks' (your guess is as good as mine), it's so vague it can't really be of any practical use,' explains Morris, saying the U.K. and Europe have an equally vague rating system. If a game has a Users Interact rating, it is worth doing research on what the levels of interaction are between users before deciding if it's ok for your kids.
Beyond that, parents should also consider what kind of platform the video games are played on.
'While there's a pretty wide variety of games available on almost every platform, if you're going for a console like the PS4 or Xbox One, there's not going to be quite the same breadth of titles when it comes to fun, family-friendly, easy to pick up and play games for the younger end of the spectrum,' Morris says. Additionally, he cautions against parents simply leaving kids to play games on phones. It seems more affordable, but they rely on in-app purchases to be profitable. Sometimes, games are even designed to be harder, if not impossible to win, without purchases.
Instead, Morris recommends going with Nintendo Switch, which has a wide range of family-friendly options because of Nintendo's wide range of offerings generally. Nintendo Switch also offers a more nuanced parental control feature. The PS4, for example, has rather limiting parental controls, despite being the best-selling console on the market currently. Morris points out that parents have to set 'blanket' limits on gaming, meaning you can't make one exception for a game rated T for Teen even if you deem it appropriate.
Nintendo Switch, on the other hand, offers you some flexibility with granting exceptions for certain games and even allows you to limit playtime for kids. Even better, it's user-friendly, so even non-gaming parents can play. But many kid-friendly Switch games are fun for the whole family. Here are a few that won't bore adults.

Play As the Parr Family
'One of our go-to favorites for playing with younger children are the LEGO games,' says Morris. They're based on Disney franchises, like Jurassic Park, the Lego Movie and the Incredibles, just in brick form. They also tend to be pretty easy to learn and are cooperative, making it great for families.
