Someone once told me that when I get older I won’t want to play video games. Man, if they could see me now! Not only do I still play, but my wife and two daughters play right along with me. One of the reasons why I fell in love [...]
Originally posted on TheDadcade.com If you were to go into any video game store, you would most likely be hard pressed to find a video game that was age appropriate for your preschooler. The fact of the matter is, their hand eye coordination just isn't there yet and the [...]
