Would You Rather Have a Fun Night Of Laughter and Bonding With Your Kids, Or Have Them Stare At Video Games For Hours?Let’s face it: kids today spend way too much time in front of a screen.
In fact, the Kaiser Family Foundation External calculated that, on average, children spend a whopping 7.5 hours in front of a screen for entertainment each day.
Over a year, that adds up to 114 full days of staring at screens.
And that’s just the time they spend in front of a screen for entertainment. It doesn’t include the time they spend on schoolwork.
These numbers are alarming, and many experts on child development are urging parents to provide their children with some “non-screen” activity.
Of course, if you’re a parent you know that’s easier said than done.
Kids love video games because they’re fun and challenge them to explore, team up, and express their creativity.
That’s exactly why our unique dog author, Cooper the Pooper, came up with a fantastic game of ‘Would You Rather’ -- a thought-provoking conversation game!
