Gaming with my kids has been a game changer

Started playing Minecraft with my 6 and 9 year old on weekends and it's honestly been great. We build stuff together, they get creative, I'm not just staring at them while they play alone. My wife was skeptical at first but even she admits it's kind of wholesome. Anyone else found games that work for mixed ages?

This is amazing. The fact that you're building stuff together means way more than the screen time argument. My 6 and 7 year old would lose their minds if I played Minecraft with them. Might have to steal this idea.

We do the same thing on weekends with my oldest. It's actually quality time where you're creating something together and talking. Way different than them just watching a show. Jealous of your Minecraft builds.

Exactly this. Gaming together is bonding. You're problem solving, laughing, doing something together. That's not bad screen time, that's good parenting.
