Parents Bonding With Thier Kids Through Video Games

Lately, parents have been able to bond with their children through what we enjoy best, video games. In a recent survey by Entertainment Software Association, 35% of parents play video games. Of that 35%, 80% play with their children. This shows that video games are becoming more and more widespread throughout the American society.

“It's kind of difficult picking a game for a 7-year-old girl, but she really likes to beat her dad at bowling," says Will Nickelson, 30, a stay-at-home dad from Huntsville, Ala.

However, some experts say that by spending time with your children with only video games can lack other necessary things. By just playing video games, kids lose out on exercise, language development and social skills.

It comes to show that just about anybody can pick up a wiimote and start playing. Why not ask your folks to play a little wii sports? You may build up a better relationship with them. Just don’t forget that life has its necessities such as going out for a walk, talking with friends and other responsibilities like that.

See what good the Wii can do!
You use more motion than you do buttons!
My dad can even whoop my butt at Wii Sports Baseball!
He hits about 1 Out of the Park each inning (there are 3 innings)
