Yikes! Screen-Time!
Everyone knows that screen-time must monitored and regulated. Or does it?
Many times this screen-time is super enchanting and beneficial. No I am not only talking about educational websites and documentaries. I don't need to remind you that true learning happens when kids are engaged in the subject.
So if that subject happens to be a video game, sit down next to your gamer and just watch, listen, and discuss all they are doing in their game.
Concepts may include team work, number sense including percentages and rates of growth, operations in the game, new vocabulary, communication (both written and spoken--depending on the type of game and gaming device). Other subjects that might be covered are geology, habitat, historical events, and much more...
Not to mention just the skill of navigating different technologies.
Let me know what you learn during your "screen-time" with your son or daughter!
