By the way, I think that your kids could have a chance to play "Super Mario Odyssey" on Switch, too. Switch is a great console for this generation at this moment for a whole family!!Aekutopianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-52586226448680494922020-05-11T13:12:48.586+09:002020-05-11T13:12:48.586+09:00Thanks!

If not for the coronavirus keeping them home all day everyday, I probably would have waited another year.<br /><br />I can though say that so far, so good. We've got three rules that are working really well so far:<br /><br />1) no more than 1 hour of games per day<br />2) When mommy or daddy say its time to stop, its time to stop;<br />3) No playing games by yourself (always together with mommy or daddy)<br /><br />The first two are self explanatory, but the third one I think is the key. It prevents the games from being an "isolating" experience and turn it into more of a "bonding" one, which limits the addiction concerns. My son (who will be 6 years old in a few months) loves playing them, but has been really good at observing the rules and doesn't fuss when we tell him to stop (mainly because he knows that if he does, he won't get to play anymore). Its a lot of fun playing with him too.

Mine aren't quite old enough yet and I worry about them getting addicted to it. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. 😬poodudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401965011563176505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-51344702834164091362020-04-22T10:49:49.593+09:002020-04-22T10:49:49.593+09:00Thanks, glad to hear from a fellow dad-retro gamer...Thanks, glad to hear from a fellow dad-retro gamer! That is funny that your son likes to watch you play more, mine is a bit like that with SMB because he wants to see what the next world is like but can't get there on his own yet!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-8611601545910595002020-04-22T09:46:33.006+09:002020-04-22T09:46:33.006+09:00This was a nice read right now.

He mostly likes to watch me play. Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053802458710566227noreply@blogger.com
