The use of video games in young children and teenagers has been a hot topic for many years. The most common misconception is that the use of video games in children increases their likelihood of developing antisocial behavior and violence. The use of competitive video games is good for children as they encourage children to work together, use critical thinking skills and regulate their emotions when dealing with the outcome of the game such as winning or losing. Kids start playing from an early age. There are stages such as parallel play, direct play, pretend play etc.” As kids get older their play patterns advance with them, competitive play is considered an advanced stage in play as it is structured and has rules which are all important and teach social skills” (Goodie, Doshi, & Young, 2012).
