> I agree, but I also see absolutely no reason why 5 years old children would have access to a gaming device. Pretty much any other activity I can imagine is better for them. I suggest expanding your imagination skills. There are definitely worse activities, like watching TV. And there's physical limit to how much physical activity one can be doing. There's definitely a point of diminishing returns there. And the skills one can develop with carefully curated games are hard to reproduce in any entertaining manner. I mean, sure, I could have him do math but it's a lot more boring. Playing games is definitely an "and", not an "exclusive or" proposition. I was given access to computer games at that age and I'm definitely appreciative for it. I only realized the value when I was well into my 30s. | |||||||||||||||||

They're made of energy. > I could have him do math but it's a lot more boring I did Math all the time with my 5 year old and he loved it, but then I also love math, and it's easy to make fun. | |||||||||||||||||
