My kid got one (not that) and destroyed it almost instantly. Good luckThinking about buying this for my kid for his 4 year old birthday:
Amazon product ASIN B07FNNC2D6
Looks like the best combo of cheap + traditional controller + able to be set to low speed + reasonably durable.
No, thanks man, thats awesome, pat on back to both you and your wife as parents. Thanks for sharing, parenting can at times be full of hair pulling type of frustration, non stop for long streches, and personally I find it is quite encouraging and uplifting to hear other success stories. Tis good to try to recall them in dark times when searching for patience (esp with young adults). That is quite a nice achievement for your kids and it is always a huge weight lifted off parents shoulders when the kids succeed and thrive on their own (or by their own selfs as my 4 year old says).I am incredibly proud of my girls. I'm very excited for their futures. One is pre-med and one is music performance. Vastly different identical twins. They're both going to do amazing, and not because their mom and I push them. These girls are self-motivated.
Sorry, I'm not trying to show off or gloat, but this is a massive moment in parenting for us, as it would be for anyone, I think.
I'm very excited.
My daughter is only 2... So I can't talk from experience, but I bought a Switch even though I've never owned a Nintendo product before (except the original donkey kong handheld...) partly because I believe Nintendo games are the most suitable for young children. Various friends kids (between 4 and 6) are really drawn to it. I've been playing with the Switch a bit, and it's definitely quite suited for a kid (and for daddy...)My son is 6 and really wants to start getting more into video games. He's been playing minecraft and other simple things, but I want to move him to the usual mario, zelda, etc. Any parents have suggestions here? I dont know much about Nintendo, is the switch the latest legit console, or is still the Wii or ?

That being said, I don't think I'd want my daughter at 6 to own a Switch, to let her play it with me sure, but it's a bit overkill and not very sturdy. For a Christmas gift, I'd go a 2DS or 3DS at this age, it's cheap, and you've got all the nintendo goodies on it.
That is awesome and you have every right to be damn proud parents.I wanna brag for a minute, so skip this if you don't want to hear it.
My twins are seniors this year. As of today, they are both accepted to their first-choice schools for next year, and they both have enough scholarship money to pay for everything except for $3,500 for one, and $4,000 for the other (each year, including housing and books). These are all academic scholarships. My girls have worked their asses off, and they're seeing the reward of that work now. They're going to get through all of undergraduate at excellent schools with no debt. They each have enough saved right now to pay for everything they need to. They are, right now, seeing how hard work and dedication can have a positive direct impact on their lives. It's monumental.
This is more than just "Yay we got in and have money." They both, of course, had serious nerves about going to college next year. Living on their own, and being able to manage the academics of the difficult programs they have chosen. This came down to the colleges essentially saying "what do you need for us to get you here?" This is massive reassurance for both of them. The excitement/apprehension balance for leaving home tipped much further toward excitement as we discussed what these offers mean.

When I was growing up I played phantasy star 1 and beat it, but I think I needed help with dialogue from my dad. Pokemon games are a little lighter on the dialogue so it might be ok.3DS also has the Gen 6 Pokemon games which are super easy even by the standards of the series, although 6 might still be a bit young for something in the traditional RPG style.
My 5 year old has loved the Ps4, so Nintendo isn't the only console for kids.My son is 6 and really wants to start getting more into video games. He's been playing minecraft and other simple things, but I want to move him to the usual mario, zelda, etc. Any parents have suggestions here? I dont know much about Nintendo, is the switch the latest legit console, or is still the Wii or ?
