An excellent testimonial of a gamer mother whose kids are into gaming as well. Great look into the educational value of games.

    • ...........but it saddens me that there is no mention of dice. We are raising an [electronica] LOST generation. Sigh.

      ( It was a little hard to read without a paragraph structure )

      The kids will be fine.

    • I believe in paragraphs. I also believe that technology is a great tool and should be used...even video games. I do not think they should be used as much as she has done. Speaking well at 2 doesn't indicate much. It has been show that those that those learning two or more languages at once don't start speaking a long time after that.

      Also I think that attention spans are shortened by massive TV watching. Books tend to teach patience in attention.

      I'll wait to pass judgment on how great she is when she has teenagers that don't drink and drive, have babies and don't speak back in vulgar manner.

      It would have been nice if she shared what she did as punishment or a deterrent instead of acting like she's a candy store for her kids. And if it is in there maybe I missed it in the block of text.

      I don't get why people don't understand how to write on the internet. Paragraphs and spaces between paragraphs. It allows for easy reading. It's something she should have learned in all her TV watching. (Couldn't resist....=P )
