It made me really good in English. Always got top grades in English. Also made me more 'outgoing' since you talk to strangers over mic/chat in online games, which makes it easier to do irl. Also made a lot of great friends over the years.
Also me and my friends used to sit together and play console games a lot, which was really fun.
We used to play a LOT, but we were also outside doing shit so not like we were just nerding it out.
It's a good way to use it as something he needs to 'earn' as you say, that way he can do what he wants (play video games) while also doing physical stuff. I know a lot of parents loathe video games (work with them) and want their kids to throw rocks at cars like they did, but it really sucks to be the only kid in your school that dont know anything about video games when thats all the kids are talking about at school
Video games are only bad if your kid ends up sitting in basement 24/7, but if it gets to that point its kinda the parents fault imo
