[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am apparently the next to last parent to allow it and trying to figure it out now.

Why is it so effing complicated?[/quote]

You shouldn't be figuring it out. If your children are interested, they can and should figure it out themselves. As tweens, this is well within their capacity. It does mean you will need to allow them internet access. But everything they need is online.

We have a rule in my household that I don't do tech support for my kids with games. I do it for school and required things, but games are something they have to figure out themselves. As a result, they are technically very adept. I'm not rigid about it -- they can ask my opinion of course -- but they have to drive it, not me.

This is how I handle it also. My 11 yr old DD has now taught herself how to write mods for it also, which has sparked an interest in coding. That definitely would not have happened if she were relying on me. It's cool to see how she's progressed from just using it as digital Legos.[/quote]
