People complain that technology isolates people, but it certainly doesn't have to. Yes, there's potential for isolation, but we can combat that by teaching our kids healthy tech habits.
As the first generation of digital moms, we need to figure out ways to guide our kids towards healthy habits and attitudes about electronics usage.
One way to do this is offering screen time that brings families together, such as for family game time or a special family game night. Why not try giving a techie edge to your family game night once in a while by playing apps instead of board games or cards? You can even involve family members who live far away, or encourage your kids to connect with friends when they can't be together. Every family is different, and I honestly would much rather play a board game over an appβ¦not going to lie!
But, my kids have a blast playing multi-player apps, and I think it's important to play with them every once in a while. Not only does it help me stay in tune with what they are playing, but it shows them I value them and care about the things they enjoy.
And while I don't think they should completely replace board games, there are some benefits to the multi-player apps! My kids have discovered a few game multi-player apps they like. And, wanting to learn more about how we could incorporate these into our family game time, I went on a quest to find more games that we could all play together. Feel free to use my list to find games for your family's techie game time as well!
