Ep 60 - Kindergarten Co-op: The Trials and Triumphs of Teaching Kids About Video Games
Do you remember your first video game? Do you remember learning how to play that game? If you're like me, probably not. For me, Super Mario Brothers just made sense. There was trial and error, but nothing too challenging.
So why do us as parents feel pulled to teach our kids how to enjoy our favorite medium? Is it even possible? And where do we draw the line between trying to guide and letting them fail. And ultimately, how did we, as young gamers, navigate this surprisingly tricky pastime with no help whatsoever.
