Since the early years of video games, there have been arguments about their pros and their cons. Despite many arguments against them, video games have gained prominence for their clinical benefits. Through many scientific studies, scientists have found evidence that video games can help improve cognitive function, mental health, and even treat or cure various illnesses.
The benefits from video games start very early in life, starting as early as when children can begin to comprehend simple words and numbers. Children begin to broaden their ideas based on their environment, so what they are exposed to is very important during the years when their brains are still developing and growing accustomed to how to respond to different triggers in their environment. And I think this is why the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), an agency that regulates software, rates games based on content; it helps to provide a guideline on what the game contains and how it could affect a child.
