Gaming with my kids is actually awesome

3w ago·1 min read

We started playing Minecraft together on weekends and honestly it's been one of the best things we've done. My 8 year old is building crazy stuff and my 5 year old just likes breaking things but they're both having fun and I'm actually enjoying it too. Way better than them just staring at the screen while I'm in the other room. Might be unpopular but I think gaming together beats a lot of other activities.

This is so cool. My son and I do Marvel Wednesdays with comics but Minecraft sounds just as awesome. Building something together is way better than separate screens.

Love this. We've been gaming with our four kids and it's genuinely one of the best ways to spend time together. Way better than watching them zone out alone.

Minecraft is secretly one of the best parenting tools out there. My kids and I built this ridiculous castle together last month and they were so proud. Plus you get to see how they think and problem solve.

Right? People think gaming is a waste but you're actually doing something together and talking the whole time. Our kids learn stuff about teamwork and creativity without realizing it.

How old are your kids? We've been thinking about starting something like this but wasn't sure about ages.
