While children are growing, parents should be maximally involved in their development and education, because this lays the main foundation for them as people who have to live in society and carry their thoughts and ideas to the community and be free from complexes and other shortcomings.
One of the most active and dynamic ways to spend time with a child and at the same time influence him in the right sense of the term and engage in educating him in a dynamic and interesting way.
It can be both easy and difficult games – it doesn’t matter if you choose the format of keeping a personal virtual stable, or together you get crota’s end raid boost in Destiny 2 – the main time and context and explanations that the child receives from you in the process of playing together.
Projects do not have to be kind – the world is not perfect, they just need to be understandable and not injure the child’s psyche, causing fear, and for this there is you to calm and explain, explain and teach a lot.
Chess
Start with chess – this is an ancient but very interesting and useful game that teaches strategic thinking.
Naturally, your child should also like them, otherwise good leisure and progress will not work.
Chess projects a battlefield of two armies with ideal conditions, where each piece plays its role, and the ideal conditions are that you see the actions of the enemy, while in real battles this possibility is more limited.
So, each figure has a symbolism:
- Pawn – infantry.
- Rook, or Tura – Fortress.
- Horse – Horse army.
- Officer – Royal Guard.
- Queen – The second most important figure of the kingdom, has a latitude of authority and always occupies the color, that is, the king’s cell.
- The king is the head of the kingdom and a symbolic figure, does not have combat power, but in the event of an environment, capitulates the entire army.
At first, do not play against each other – choose an opponent, you can play against AI and come up with tactics and strategies together and test them on the battlefield – give the child the opportunity to make decisions, even if they are obviously wrong, just explain the cause and consequences – Your task is to instill in your son , or daughters of the initiative, but understanding the potential consequences and their cost, so that they always act, but approach any issue wisely.
Only later, with an increase in the level of the game, you can play against each other on the chess field, but I repeat – this is an optional option, especially for the relationship between mother and daughter, who will also have to go through the stage of rivalry in adolescence.
Family simulator
Play together in The Sims – a simulation and emulation of real life from Maxis.
Create a family, or each other, and gradually master and experiment with your abilities and desires – by the way, this can be a great way to understand what the child wants and dreams about using the game as an example and try to take her or him to the appropriate section.
Games like Sims develop children’s empathy and understanding that everything has feelings and emotions, because you have to support all the necessities of life, go to work, grow up and still be interested in the world around you.
As in chess, let the child play and make decisions, but correct the consequences if he or she gets upset about failures or asks questions. The purpose of playing together is to build trust, spend time together and properly nurture, for which society and the child himself will thank you in adulthood.
Simulators
In the game genre, there is a format of simulators – these are projects that offer everyone to immerse themselves in the detailed development of any profession or craft.
Similarly, with the previous examples, you have a chance to spend interesting time with a child, understand his interests in a playful way and also gain new knowledge and experience yourself.
You can choose a car mechanic simulator to thoroughly understand how this profession works and how a car works.
The PC Builder Simulator will similarly explain to you the structure of the gaming components and how they are installed and operated.
An interesting format is a farming simulator where you have to sow crops, process them, harvest, sell and all with a share of realism with the influence of weather, weeds, parasites and other nuances.
Choose a simulator of a pilot, train driver, driver – to understand and show the child the basics of these professions and get a full immersion in compliance with all the laws of physics – this means that it simply won’t be, but it will definitely be interesting.
Tycoon strategies
This is a genre of strategies in which you need to build your business in a certain niche, depending on your choice.
It can be a school, a cafe, a gas station, a water park, or even an entire city.
The whole value of such games lies in the fact that you build something together, experience successes and failures that unite you, teach you how to earn and instill the value of money, because in such games it is very easy to lose by simply investing money incorrectly. It is important to teach your child how to deal with waste and let him play by himself, to allow mistakes to be made, or to correct actions, explaining their causes and consequences.
Try an old project – Movies, from the Lyon Gates studio, in which you will get into the film industry of the 20s and will have to make films.
This is an interesting project that will introduce you to the principle of the studio, the selection of actors and staff, the development of the entire industry as a whole and the opportunity to make films on your own scripts and combine fragments to create the perfect picture for cinemas.
Such projects develop imagination, thinking, and most importantly, they allow you to think logically – if a bad result is obtained for such actions, but a good one in these, then they should be dealt with slight adjustments, depending on the need.
A nice bonus will be the opportunity to watch the filmed film, which will amuse you very much.
Action
You can even play action games with active and dynamic scenes, the main thing is not to choose too serious and bloody games, depending on the age of the child.
If you play with your daughter, then you can choose a series of Lara Croft games – an active and interesting adventure with the main character – a girl that your daughter can even empathize with and imitate.
There are few kills in the game, or rather they are optional – you can just sneak around the territory and a lot of cinematic scenes that fans of games and old-school projects with new graphics will love.
