[quote=Anonymous]I’m actually a big fan of video games where kids or kids and parents can play together. The switch in particular has lots of very kid friendly games with limited violence. We also have a project onto the big screen setup, with no online access, and of all the screen use you could consider, kids playing MarioKart or designing something together in Minecraft is much better than watching YouTube or playing addictive iPad games. I also think video games can be a good background activity to facilitate conversation with tweens/teens - just like being in a car, you’re not making eye contact and it can help people open up. I’m not saying it’s a free for all, but we’ve had a switch for 6 years and I have zero regrets (except one very annoying Lego game my son loves!). Kids are 7-14 now. [/quote]
