What do y’all think about Minecraft? Part of me thinks it’s like legos and I’d happily let my kids play legos all day, but it’s also a video game and I want to keep reasonable limits on screen time. Thoughts?

My daughter loved the creator mode building things. My son liked the adventure, but there’s no there’s a lot of grinding, killing animals and the multiplayer, which is basically hide and seek it’s OK if you turn the chat off

I haven't dipped into any alone time for the kids yet. I grew up on video games and love them but I'm still hesitant to let my kids go all in. They're 5 and 7 and we play Mario and Kirby games but only as a family and only on rainy nights.

Our 6 year old had an iPad issued to her last year in kindergarten (and the school has effectively zero controls on it), so we've somewhat given up on hoping she won't get caught up with computer games, so with that said we've let her play if she's done her chores for the day (on a big screen we can keep an eye on and interact with her about what she's creating). As long as you stick to local (not online) creative(as opposed to survival) mode, it really does feel pretty lego-esque and harmless

My kids (8 and 5) have not asked to play much except MarioKart. I’d let them play more if they asked, though.

The other kids at school have much more screen time. If I don’t let them participate in the same activities as their peers, such as Minecraft, I’m limiting them and alienating them as they wouldn’t be able to relate.

Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

Deffo recommend trying it!
