Velma's help was excellent! After meeting with her, my son came straight to me and said, "What did she say?" His eyes lit up when I told him a few things. He's excited to play with me!

The only difference between "playing house" and "playing Minecraft" is in the medium of play, rather than the play itself.

Watch me learn to play video games. I played Super Mario Brothers twice–as a 5th grader at the neighbor’s house–before I entered the world of video games with my son. Much to my surprise, I discovered these games could bring us closer and be a source of connection instead of creating conflict.
Biggest surprise? I've learned to love them myself! Video games are teaching me to play, make mistakes, learn and have fun. You can find me showing off my mediocre gaming (mostly Minecraft) skills on several times a week.
