In today's society, video games have become the daily entertainment activities of many children. With the development of science and technology, the types and forms of games are becoming more and more abundant, attracting a large number of children to participate. But there are different views on the influence of children playing games on their growth. Some people think that games will affect children's study, life and health, but others think that moderate games have a certain positive effect on children's growth. This paper will discuss the positive influence of children playing games on their growth from the following aspects.

First of all, games can exercise children's practical ability and coordination ability. Many games require players to have certain operational skills, such as pressing keys and sliding. Through constant practice and trial, improving children's operational skills will play a positive role in promoting children's contact with other fields in the future. In addition, some strategy games can also cultivate children's logical thinking and teamwork ability. In the game, children need to make strategies, assign tasks and cooperate with teammates, which are very important abilities in real life.

Secondly, games can expand children's horizons and knowledge. With the diversification of games, children can be exposed to various cultural, historical and scientific knowledge. For example, some historical games can let children know about past historical events and cultivate their patriotic feelings; Some popular science games can help children learn scientific knowledge in entertainment and stimulate their interest in science. In addition, some virtual scenes and characters in the game can also stimulate children's imagination and creativity and provide beneficial inspiration for their mental growth.

In addition, games can help children establish good social relations. In multiplayer online games, children can make friends from all over the world, complete tasks and exchange experiences. This kind of cross-regional communication helps to cultivate children's communication skills and tolerance, so that they can learn to respect different cultures and viewpoints. At the same time, teamwork in the game can also help children learn to care about others and cooperate with others, which is of great help to their interpersonal skills in the future.

Finally, moderate games can help children release stress. In real life, children are under pressure from school, family and society. Appropriate game time can make them relax in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, so as to better cope with the challenges in life. In addition, some educational games can also help children improve their attention and concentration, and also promote their learning to some extent.

Of course, we should also see the possible negative effects of excessive addiction to games. Therefore, parents and teachers should guide their children to arrange game time reasonably and ensure that games become a pastime rather than a leading role in their lives. At the same time, we should pay attention to children's performance and psychological changes in the game, find problems in time and intervene.

In short, moderate games have a positive effect on children's growth. Can train children's practical ability, coordination ability, logical thinking and teamwork ability; Expand children's horizons and knowledge; Help them establish good social relations; Release the pressure. As long as children are correctly guided to treat games and find a balance between games, study and life, games can become useful partners on their growth path.
