How many ways are videogames GOOD for kids? Let me count them. Or just click on the link below to see how many ways iVillage wanted for the following slideshow (hint: it’s in the title). Remember, it takes an iVillage to raise a child. (iVillage is a publication of NBC/Universal and is one of the most popular communities for mom-age women who are likely suspicious of gaming.)

Great article. Some of the pictures are a little dopey, though. 🙂
It didn’t teach my little brothers to read, but Pokemon helped encourage them to learn to read so they can play the game.
I’m not sure video game teach hand-eye coordination, though, as I’ve been playing video games for nearly 30 years and I’m still a klutz! 🙂 –Cary
