What Online Games Can Do FOR our Kids
AS parents, we all worry about the perils of allowing our kids too much time playing games online. And it is true that too much of anything is just not a good thing. But we also have to concede that we would probably be shortsighted if we ignored the fact that our children can also benefit from quality online games that challenge the brain, help build social skills or simply relieve stress.
Brain teasing games help improve awareness, logic, reasoning and creative problem solving. Social skill games help break down barriers and let kids have fun together by providing opportunities for conversation. Other games are simply about having fun or having a blast. As a parent, you can help the kids find skill-building games and games that sharpen individual faculties while keeping your kids entertained.
Games Develop Motor Skills
Games are fun-filled ways of developing motor skills. Research has shown that kids who play games regularly have superior sensory processing abilities. Playing games will make your kids alert and innovative. Remember, kids are full of energy looking for new experiences and challenges. Games Develop Social Skills Games are a good way to teach kids skills as they remember what they do. Play games a part of your teaching. Games also provide relief from stress, besides helping develop social skills. Remember, socially competent young people are able to work with others, hold their own against opponents and can anticipate future events. More Stories |

What is Fish Smarty?
The idea of creating an online educational playground for children was born in 2008, says one of the founders Cristian Paun. He and his team wanted Fish Smarty to build an ad-free and safe environment where children could explore the world, play, learn, and have fun at the same time.
After months of studying educational materials, interviewing parents, and analyzing different national curricula, the concept of Explore, Play, and Learn™ was finalized as a base for Fish Smarty development.
In early 2009, Fish Smarty was released to a limited number of parents and children around the world for reviewing and testing; receiving great feedback.
Fish Smarty opened to the public in the third quarter 2009, so far gathering a considerable community of parents and children using it daily to get enjoyment, inspiration and knowledge.
