How do you protect a boy's brain in the world of gaming? Does it affect brain development? It can, and it does, but video games are not evil. Gaming can also include many positives. When parents and children play them together, good bonding can occur; between gamers, too, including interactive gamers, wonderful bonding occurs. Video games can also help brains with certain types of ADD to focus better on certain tasks. Every video game—even ones that we might find despicable, can become assets in a boy’s moral development, especially if we discuss the games with the boys.
