thanks for the comment.
Quite heartwar...Hi Mike, <br /><br />thanks for the comment. <br />Quite heartwarming - I think it's important to embed those family values - I don't have kids at this point, but emphasising family time is something I would likely do. <br /><br />In the post I pretty much focussed on serious things - Kids learn a lot from games (tech or not) but it's the type of games, and as you say, moderation which is key. I like the 'softer' things you have mentioned, which I didn't think about initially, so thanks :-)<br /><br />PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660986766828836305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597491982482349483.post-89033770833063892012012-09-04T11:36:14.941+01:002012-09-04T11:36:14.941+01:00I like this Peter and the thing that your post has...I like this Peter and the thing that your post has prompted me to think about is the human interaction of games. I also loved to play scrabble, trivial pursuits and things like cluedo as a kid. I don't really play that many games (other than Poker ;-) online<br /><br />Sunday nights were games nights and it was great to play as family and whilst I know I was lucky to have this. The games allowed us to connect as a family and in my case tease my sister but essentially it was the interactions of playing games face to face that brought the fun and interactions required to really enjoy the game and banter win or lose. It taught us the rules and how to play and also gamesmanship and team work. <br /><br />My 4 year old is tech mad (wonder why) and loves to play games and whilst I'll encourage him to continue to play electronic games in moderation we have already started Sunday night games night with funny faces and Guess Who and other games. <br /><br />It's the human interaction in these early years that I believe can help shape the attitude, approach and ability to play games and to help them be creative and play.....this can then move on to electronic games and develop critical skills in school and beyond like you describe. <br /><br />I agree the future will incorporate more and more technology but I agree we shouldn't forget the importance of human play and playing games together and having fun - this is critical to the learning process<br /><br />Mike<br /><br /> MikeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456487529755552836noreply@blogger.com
