I play wow with several of my children. I think it gives us something to talk about to understand and to connect with. Is that the only thing we discuss? No. But having that as a common thread of communication allows for more communication doors to be opened. It allows your children to realize you like to have fun, that you like to get involved in something of little meaning. It helps, in my opinion in a lot of ways.
When my children were younger we would work together and against each other on Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog and even Theme Park. It was the first time my children learned that I was really involved and enjoyed the things that meant a lot to them.
So just like when little boys of the 60's and 70's got their race car sets and dad and child sat in the floor for hours on end, mother and father and children can all join in and play together. The only real difference is the tools needed. instead of cars that fly off the track, you have computers and to me it is all the same.
Now Dora Links includes mom's and Dad's and Grandmama's like me and will promote joining in activities with young children and I think it is awesome. I think it is time for this.

It is parenting adapting to the technological advances of the time. I can not wait to join my children in a hologram settings and really fight some Horde.
Dare I even dream of that? I dare. Oh yes, I dare.
