Critical Thinking: Video games force kids to think quickly. In particular, action games encourage players to make fast decisions using evidence gathered throughout the game, according to a study explained on the Daily Tech website. Kids who play video games are given unusual problems to solve, many of which they must solve very quickly.
Social Development: Video games are often blamed for poor social skills in children. However, according to Psych Central, the opposite may be true, since video games often allow players from around the world to work together to solve problems or complete tasks. This is especially true in children with autism. Playing video games can teach children with autism or an autism spectrum disorder how to respond to visual and verbal queues, in turn improving their social responses.
Emotional Outlet: Venting frustration or anger in a game may help diffuse stress. It also gives introverted kids a chance to exert a dominant behavior or "try on" a personality they do not use in their everyday lives. Additionally, both violent and non-violent games can have a relaxing, almost meditating effect on children.

Negative effects:
Preoccupation: A video game addiction can be harmful if your child is unable or unwilling to participate in any interests or extracurricular activities other than gaming. The On-Line Gamers Anonymous website notes that it may be a sign of an addiction if your child is constantly thinking about his next video game session, devising ways to get back to the game, abandoning former hobbies that don’t relate to video games or declining social events with personal interaction because he's spending time discussing video games on the Internet.
Suffering Relationships: Relationships with friends and family members may suffer if your child is spending more time gaming than he is talking to or going out with loved ones.
Poor Performance: Long hours playing video games can negatively affect your child's performance in school if he's preoccupied with video games. He can fail to work at his optimum level because he's exhausted from a late night of video game playing.
