What age did you start playing video games with your kid?
5 but my stepson's dexterity isn't great so he didn't really get into it until he was 8.
Daughter wanted to play Mario at 2 yr old. She loves PBS kids games now at 3, almost 4.
We opened up video games a little early for our youngest, a Covid indulgence, he was 5 1/2. Figured why not check out a switch in Fall 2020. In hindsight we would have been better to wait a couple more years. Later, we played through Zelda Link’s Awakening as a family.
I'm still at early 20 rn, but my dad start it when he was 35
around 7 - competitive NitroType, collaborative Oregon Trail (somehow my character always gets dysentery + dies before his)
Haven't yet. Will try and hold off until 8-10 y/o.
gave him the controller to "play" Mario kart with me at 3yo he'll play Zelda with me now too at 4yo, but not on his own yet it's a special treat for us to do together maybe once or twice a week, don't want to overdo it
5ish, Mario Kart. Though now that they’re older (8 and 11) they play games like Mario and Zelda solo.
i have spawned gamers. 4, 5, and 9 year old all play smash bros and mario kart. i think 4 is a good age. though i am super strict on age appropriate games. when it comes to ipad, also super strict on random games that spew ads and buy to play. i try to stick to apple arcade which has a decent collection now.
4/5 or so. We started by building the Nintendo Labo kits together out of cardboard and then used them for the Labo game and Mario Kart (which has a friendly steering assist function for kids). Now oldest is almost 7 and we’re still playing Mario Kart, Rocket League, Minecraft together.
