Nowadays, when we face job pressure, we tend to dream about going back to our golden school days. And when we were really in those days, we used to think, "Oh God, when will we grow up?" The fact is that, every stage of life has some form and degree of stress associated to it. And our school life was not free from it either. The stress of homework, the stress of staying responsive in classes, the stress of participation and letting others feel our presence and the constant stress of learning more and more and reproducing the same in a better way every single time kept us worried in our school days.
In the classwork-homework-packed routine, some of us had the luck to get an hour of oxygen supply in the form of permission to invest some time and energy on video games although the actual "remote control" rested with our parents.
But today's children are lucky enough to get a "taste" of the modern recipes of stress relief. They can play video games to relieve their stress and anxiety. Students and faculty at the Rochester Institute of Technology and St. John Fisher College have joined hands to design a revolutionary video game to help students work on their self-control skills.
The theory makes use of physiological controllers in a customized game platform to help young people help themselves in an innovative way. The players become the game characters themselves and the game takes off with an evaluation of the anxieties and the repetitive behaviors displayed by stressed children. The game hardware is equipped with physiological sensors and this allows the players to identify their physiological expressions of stress and anxiety.
In the ultimate place, the players will utilize the same sensors as controllers to make their way through the game by way of supervising and managing their characters and the stress responses they stand for. Researchers are of the opinion that this innovative game plays a therapeutic role while involving loads of fun and assembling information on psycho-physiological change.
Parents, who might be thinking that video games may harm their children's academic career, should now give a second thought to this concept. The newly discovered concept may actually bring a lot of positivity to your children's academic life. Just give him some space and allow him to bloom on his own. He will show his colors.
