About the value of virtual speed in real life of a little athlete
Especially popular in the entertainment genre are high-speed computer games for children. Racing is an exciting and fun adventure for the whole family. Their main fans, of course, are boys, because they all love to compete and love cars. Such entertainments make it possible to drive along various routes, try to get around worthy rivals, and introduce yourself as a sports car pilot.
However, the choice of the game, as well as the organization of the process should be approached with extreme caution - some races are not designed primarily for children, and spending a lot of time in the company of such fun will be at least not very useful for the child.
Most often, races are preferred by especially active children who like dynamic entertainment. Indeed, there are more than enough speakers in this case. The game process can teach the baby to solve all kinds of tasks: collect various objects along the way (things necessary to get to a new level, car repair kits, fuel), overtake rivals, and overcome a certain route in the shortest possible time. Keep in mind that the gameplay itself often creates a fairly intense atmosphere.
In this regard, it is important to control the emotional state of the child during the game. It is most effective to limit the time that the baby will spend in such entertainment. Even playing computer games for the smallest follows with significant interruptions (every 15 minutes). An important point that should also be taken into account: children's races are usually designed for a certain age of the child. Most often, the age category of a particular game is indicated by the developer, so look for relevant information on the disk.
Be that as it may, before the age of five, a child with a low degree of probability will be able to independently cope with the complex management of the colorful sports car presented in the game. Do not try to offer your son or daughter popular races that are designed for adult and conscious players - they often turn out to be too complicated, but even worse is that such games often contain cruel scenes. It is worth protecting children from such entertainments, because their psyche is still too susceptible.
Sports games are a separate genre represented by a huge variety of variations. The most widespread among the races for children are simulators that imitate real (as much as possible) sports competitions. A series of games "Formula 1" is a typical representative of this group. The player can choose different tracks, different difficulty levels, and competitions can take place in several modes. If we talk about racing, we’ll highlight “Cars” - an interesting game based on the famous cartoon, where the kid will have to control the famous Lightning McQueen and learn new tricks with him, overcoming difficult obstacles.
