Riddle Me This: Good-For-You-Gaming

By M.A.S.

See if you can answer this riddle:

What fun activity can you participate in while lounging in your pajamas that also relieves stress, reduces pain, delays mental decline and can make you a better surgeon?

The answer is playing games, and if you solved this riddle it is probably because you already classify as an avid game player.

The benefits linked to game playing have been confirmed in multiple studies led by credentialed researchers from a variety of medical specialties. If you think I’m pulling your leg, look below for a couple of examples:

A study led by Dr. Robert S. Wilson that was published in the February 13, 2002 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people who engaged more frequently in brain-challenging activities were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s Disease. The study also listed playing games and solving puzzles among the list of beneficial cognitive challenges. Go HERE to read the entire JAMA publication.   

A March 19, 2007 article on Forbes.com entitled “Gaming’s Health Benefits” includes the results from several studies that linked game playing to a variety of benefits, including pain management, fewer surgical errors, and even sharper eyesight. You can read the entire article HERE.   www.boomeryearbook.com

All of these studies linking mental health benefits to playing games means a win/win situation for you, because while participating in a fun activity you are also giving your brain a boost. Best of all is that whether you prefer brain teasers, board games, puzzles, or Pac-Man, every single type of game is linked to at least one brain benefit. Be warned, though, Boomers – six hours of Playstation every day won’t help you to ward off dementia. It’s brain teasers such as the optical illusions and psychological games found on Boomer Yearbook that will keep your brain at its best well into your Golden Years. Now that you know where to find these games, there’s only one thing left to say: Game on!

I am not sure which would impact me the most, first hearing that my child was a child bully, or hearing that my child was a bully victim!  Both situations are ones that mostparents dread having to ever hear about their child. Similar, yet different. Involving thesame social problem, yet impacting the child in different ways.  To put things anotherway, the child has assumed the role in their social ranking as either the prey or the predator.

As a parent, it is our responsibility to take action should we find out that our child has been accused of tormenting and intimidating other children.  Ideally it would be helpful if we could have some insight into the fact that there may be a behavior problem, before we have to find out from someone else, such as the dreaded phone call from the school, police, or hearing it through the neighbourhood “grapevine”.  What we need are some helpful child bully guidelines to help identify this potential behavior problem.

How you react to this unpleasant news that your child is a bully will set the tone for all future dealings between you and your child over this problem.  Outrage and threats will in most situations only make things worse and sever the much needed lines of open and honest communication between you and your child.  Instead, take a deep breath, clear your mind and carefully plan your next move.  Use your mind, rather than your heart, to move forward.  Consider the following  “action steps” if you are unsure of what to do if your child is bullying others.

Action Steps For Parents

Action Step #1: Remain Calm

Upon learning that your child is bullying, remain calm and focus on getting as many facts, not opinions, as possible about the incident before discussing it with your child. If school related, then talk to the teacher or other school staff involved to find out what exactly happened.

Action Step #2: Set Expectations

Discuss in very clear terms the kind of behavior you expect to see from your child and that bullying of any kind, verbal or physical, is inappropriate and unacceptable.

Action Step #3: Ask Why

Provide your child with the opportunity to explain why they felt the need to bully another child.  This can easily lead into a discussion of other non-aggressive ways that your child could have dealt with the situation, or more appropriate ways of expressing their feelings.

Action Step #4: Change Places

It is important for the child bully to learn to show empathy towards their victim. Discuss how the targeted child must have felt when being attacked and how they would have felt being the victim. Impress on your child that no one deserves to be bullied, no matter what the circumstances.

Action Step #5: Mending Fences

Clearly a wrong has been committed against another child. Talk about ways that your child could make amends for what they did.  Encourage a face to face verbal apology along with an assurance to the victim that this will not happen again.

Some parents mistakenly believe that buying a “gift” for the victim on behalf of their child will solve the problem.  Big mistake, as the child bully is showing no personal responsibility for their inappropriate behavior as they see mom or dad buying them out of trouble.

Action Step #6: Rules and Consequences

Part of your action plan must include very clear rules and consequences should the bullying behavior continue.  Rules may include after school and weekend curfews, where and who the child is allowed to hang out with, and any other actions that will allow you to monitor their behavior.

Consequences must be reasonable and meaningful to the child.  For example a consequence of no TV for a week if caught bullying, means little to a child that has access to online chat, games, X-Box, or Playstation during their “grounded time”.

Avoid at all times any consequences that involve physical force such as spankings, as these may actually reinforce the aggressive behavior, that the use of physical force is an acceptable way to solve a problem.

Action Step #7:Goals and Feedback

Don’t think that you can change the bullying behaviors of your child over night or in a week. Such behaviors are learned over extended periods of time, depending upon the age of the child, and will take perhaps months or years to completely disappear.

For now, set some short term goals that the child can realistically meet.  Depending on the situation, perhaps a day or a week at a time without any reports of bullying behavior.  Don’t forget to praise your child not only for meeting the goals, but also for making an effort when things don’t go well.

Action Step #8:Communication

As you embark on a course of action to support your child in dealing with their inappropriate behavior problem, remember to let others know what you are doing such as the child’s school and teacher, neighbours, and even other people that your child may have contact with such as a sports coach.  You cannot be with your child 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, so these people can act as your eyes and ears in the community.  Keeping watch on your child and offering their support should the child be tempted to engage in bullying behavior when you are not around.

Action Step #9:Look in the Mirror

Many of us forget that we are behavior models for our children from a very young age.  Do we exhibit any types of inappropriate behavior in front of our children that may have contributed to their development into a child bully?  If we use verbal abuse and/or physical violence in our home to solve problems, what messages are we sending to our child. “Do as I say, not as I do” is a poor message for any child. As parents we need to be consistently role modeling the types of good behavior we want to see in our children, especially for the child bully.

Finally, I would encourage you to keep things in perspective regarding child bullying.  Research as well as common sense supports the fact that most children, at some time in their life, do bully other children occasionally due to stress.  Reasons may include:

1. Sibling rivalry (we have this lots at my house!) 
2. Stress from school work.
3. Upset about problems in the home.
4. Death of a family member.
5. Break up of the family unit.
6. Relationship problems outside the family.
7. Simple boredom (yep, see this one at my house too!) 
8. Frustrated over an on-going problem in their life.
9. Just having a “bad” day and need to vent on someone.

Bullying due to these kinds of incidents, is still wrong, and needs to be addressed by the parent.  The good news is that with some discussion about the inappropriate behavior and reasonable consequences, the child will usually see the error of their ways and be willing to made amends to the offended party.  This type of child is not the one that we need to worry about as parents.

Unfortunately, there are children out there, who for many different reasons seem to be involved in repeated incidents of bullying, both in the home and outside, at school, the playground, etc.  These children may exhibit some of the following characteristics:

1. Exhibit aggressive behavior most of the time.
2. Display a lack of self-control.
3. Enjoy any situation involving violence.
4. Have a low opinion of themselves.
5. Like to “stir things up”.
6. Refuse to take ownership of their inappropriate behavior.
7. Unlikely to feel sorry for the victim.
8. May be victims of bullying themselves.
9. Find it difficult to socialize normally with other children.

These are the children who are most “at risk” and need the support of the parents and society in general to help them deal with their over aggressive behavior towards other children now, and perhaps other adults later in life.

Thirdly, we have got the guitar strings that go on top of the fret board, on top of the frets.

You have probably lost your job and you are looking for another job because your bills are coming every month and the little money you have left is quickly disappearing.  One thing that people like you hate, is when you go to search for a job, the only tell you that they are currently full and that there are no jobs available.

If you love playing video games then I have terrific news for you.  They are multiple gaming companies that are looking for people that enjoy playing video games, to offer them a job as a game tester.

What would I gain as a gamer tester?

First of all you going to have the opportunity to be working with different gaming companies to try different types of games, from any type of gaming console you can think of.  You could concentrate on either trying games for the Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, etc… Or you could try games from multiple gaming consoles; the choice is between the company and you.

I don’t think a game tester job is very important.

Well you are mistaken, because a game tester has one of the most important responsibilities, his job is to try games and give their opinions about the game and report if they were any errors or glitches found.  This is very important because every time a company put a new game to the market their reputation is one line, to have a great game that most gamers are going to enjoy.

This is something that you can do together with the rest of family, that way you are going to spend time with them while you do your job as a game tester

For smaller rooms, second TV rooms, and that game room you’ve finally finished the Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB is an awesome smaller version of the big brothers that soak up more than their fair share of space. But just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean that you’re giving up anything from picture quality to sound quality.

If you are a fan of getting seeing every shade of colour that the movie makers intended you to see then the 32RV635DB could be the TV for you. You might decide that for its size it would make a better bedroom television. You will be bringing the movie theatre experience into your bedroom. Not only is the picture wonderful but the sound is fabulous as well.

The Toshiba 32RV635DB has been tested and the benchmark results are impressive for a television of this size. Many people believe that the technology shouldn’t be wasted on such a small television. The grayscale is a measurable characteristic that reveals how accurate of an image the TV can produce. The actual image is never displayed on any TV at 100% but what is being measured is the acceptable amount of errors. This TV shines in this area of testing.

This 32RV635DB TV would be perfect for anyone that is a serious gamer. With the awesome sound and the fantastic resolution any gamer will be excited to play their Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. And this is one way to get back the family TV.

The Toshiba 32RV635DB may take a little tweaking once out of the box. There always a little bit of calibration that needs to be done to every television when you first get it. However, it was noticed that is does not take a lot of tweaking to get the full benefit of the technology that was built into this machine.

The Toshiba 32RV635DB is very user friendly. For the most part it slips right out of the box and takes very little to get up and running whether you’re looking to connect the DVD player, a gaming system, or just play around with the joys of high definition. Simple to use but awesome to watch, this is like your large TV being shrunk into a space saving box.

There are a few points that are not quite user friendly when it comes to this 32RV635DB model. The remote control has been manufactured with a much lower quality than the television. Consumers tend to complain that it feels very lightweight but it also feels cheaply made. There have been some complaints dealing with backlight or trailing issues, but these complaints are not so significant that the TV is losing favour. The reviews still rave and the quality is still noticed.

The low cost of the 32RV635DB for all of its high quality makes it easy to grab it and add it to the family room, the bedroom, or the game room for the best of a high definition TV without the space or cost concerns. Taking a few minutes to TV up the perfect calibration will pay you back in the near perfect picture and sound that we are all rapidly becoming quite accustomed to.
