You've binge-watched "Paw Patrol." You've sat through "Frozen II" a dozen times. There must be something better — more interactive and fun — to do with your kids while stuck at home. Look at it as an opportunity to connect and build relationships with your children by doing something together: playing video games. The trick, of course, is finding ones that you actually want to play without driving yourself crazy.
The first step: Find out what they are already playing. Express genuine, non-patronizing interest and you might find some common ground. If your kids already play, ask them to explain their game to you, no matter how inane or mysterious it may seem. Ask them to let you try it, under their guidance. You may be surprised at your response.
