So my son at 4 plays certain educational games that are teaching him numbers and letters and some basic reading. Actual non educational games is such a variable concept that you can't just set an age its a case by case basis.
If you balance school work with game time, play, no matter your age. If grades start slacking/school work starts going unfinished, wait till you are out of school. but then there is the subject matter of game which is increasingly going into a more mature audience.
Honestly best thing to do is give them a NES/SNES or Sega Genesis. The controllers are small and simple, which makes it easier for younger kids to get the hang of it. And there's tons of games for them that are completely kid friendly. On that note however, I don't believe that kids "Should" start playing at any particular age. But the option should be presented to them if they're interested (which they probably will be if anyone else in the house is a gamer). At what age I think that option should… See More
be given? Around 5/6. They can play tablet games before that if they really need to.
What age should we stop??? I think I am past that age... but can't help myself!
