I get the impression that's why Nintendo is getting away from making the Pokémon fight in their movies (like Detective Pikachu) and they continue to publish games like Pokémon Snap which just encourages you to take pictures of them.

Pokémon thirst for violence and to disallow them their time on the battlefield is to squelch their spirits.

Anyone have recommendations for a video game on the PS4 that someone 3 1/2 could play or watch? My oldest keeps playing with the controller and wants her own video game

I’m rewatching the Harry Potter series with my kids for the first time since becoming a parent And jfc imagine how much you’d have to hate your kids to send them to Hogwarts That place is a death trap even when there aren’t wizard nazis running around indiscriminately. Muggle parents be nervous about their kid playing high school football but wizard parents be like “oh yea junior just got whomped with a magic bowling ball and fell 200 ft in The air while sitting on a stick

I try to set actual finite time limits for game time but my kids will forego a literal measurable round of playing smash ultimate in order to listen to and sing along to the intro theme song in its absolute entirety. It's like I have secret theatre kids

we’re a timer family, went from using a Time Timer(recommend) to asking Siri to set a timer helps. the important thing to remember is that kids can’t set shift well so you need to find a final or some sort of stopping spot with enough notice so the meltdowns don’t happen . like the prep to tell them the current task is going to end makes a different than abruptly changing.

demonstrating some real positive work life balance since my kid made a laptop at school with cardboard and all the kids followed which I thought was cool but then after dinner she moves it to the end of our dining table and tells me she has to get back to work in her office and starts typing and other stuff mimicking me since I’ve been in a home office for a year and I don’t leave the room until 6pm daily

My 6 yo and I played through Goose Game in co-op and it was great. She still jumps into A Short Hike from time to time long after beating it. We beat everything in Yoshi's Crafted World except the last couple secret levels, and we're doing the Odyssey post game. Switch has everything you need, and you can't go wrong with the obvious main line of Nintendo games.

daycare has been going great the little one, she is getting in her naps and it's a super small group of kids, barely even five IIRC, and the lady in charge is super nice and every time I walk up, my girl is just bouncing in her lap or they're on the floor playing/exploring together The caregiver has off for Eid al-Adha so im going to take a sick day and spend some time with her and i cant wait

there are some great posts on this page from responsible parents who properly limit screen time and video game time. time for me to offset that my two older kids (ages 7 and 9), just saw someone walking their shiba ibu outside and excitedly exclaimed "LOOK! IT'S A DOGE!!!"

poo poo POST MALONE posted:my kids relate everything they see to Zelda or Mario in some capacity. i does sting a bit that my kid is a mario fan and is like eww sonic. I think because even though we as parents have tried to discourage it my kid is just drawn to princess stuff and mario saving peach is her thing, she totally doesn't like daisy since she's not some damsel in distress. When i unlocked Daisy in mario run she told me how much she didn't like daisy's voice and what she was saying, she rather see rosalina talk about her lumas or princess peach stuff. However, she is always concerned about what's going on with Luigi and tells me throughout the day that she gets letters from him saying he needs help. but maybe it's for the best that she's not into sonic as much looking at the internet....

Sonic fan content is second to none and my older son will break out into "can't be too mad ya ordered me a chili dog" sometimes. https://youtu.be/wwOAv2xvx3M I love this clip because it's 100% Jaleel White talking to himself as two separate Sonics

I think one day I was just like "do you guys want to play a video game?" and we started with a Dreamcast because that is all I had and then I pole vaulted off of their passing enthusiasm and bought a Wii and a GameCube and a Genesis and a PCEngine and a ps1 and a Ps2 and a switch and a Saturn. we play a lot of Donkey Konga, actually.

I didn’t buy anything after that so I’ll wait until she can actually play a game before I start shelling out for a switch
