As you’re probably aware, video games are hugely popular in our society. Heck, you might even play some yourself!
While not inherently bad, video games can tend toward causing addictive behaviors in our kids. Help combat this by dusting off the old board games, and spend some real quality time as a family.
Today’s youth, and society as a whole, views elders differently than past generations. Elders were once considered wise, and their advise something to heed.
