The idea of parents and kids bonding over video games seems like a no-brainer to us.
MSNBC examines the issue in conversation with parents as well as a Seattle-based pediatrician. Brian Albright, father of 12-year-old Caleb, told MSNBC:
It is a shame that parents don’t see this as an opportunity for bonding, communication and supervision. Clearly, boundaries need to be set, but there are way more positives than negatives… Games where you’re an actual soldier in combat I have trouble with. I find that it’s more like a numbing effect to the harsh realities of war.
I agree with Brian Albright, playing games with your kids is really an opportunity to enter their world and to have plain fun together. I sometimes play Warcraft with my daughter, we play on two systems in the same room, and really have fun together exploring & questing.
