Here is a little clip of Jack playing a game with us. I am really proud of two things in this video....
First, isn't Katie the most patient big sister gamer ever? She demonstrates patience even when things look pretty grim ("Then I wont ever get a turn..") She really wants to let him explore the games, learn to love playing together, and have fun gaming. I was so proud she didn't reach over and take the dice from her brother. Go Katie!
Secondly, despite the fact that he didn't want to, Jack shared. He passed the last die over to Katie so she could have a turn... eventually! Good job buddy! We kept playing after this video, and each time around the table he was a little less reluctant to pass the turn along. He's learning, and we're proud of our little ones.
In case you missed it previously, or for more info on our philosophy about playing games with kids you can check out an archived article about it here. We're all learning to play together, and most of all having fun!
Please feel free to share your proud gaming moments with the little ones in your life, let's celebrate their developing generosity, patience, and good sportsmanship!
This article excites me. My daughter is only 6 months old, but we are eager to get her started ASAP. She'll be almost 11 months this year at GenCon and I'm hoping there are some things that she can poke around out in the Training Gro unds. At the very least, I'll get her one or two inflatable dice to play with.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until she can play as well as your son!
