There’s a lot of debate these days about kids and screen time. Some parents don’t see an issue with it, whereas other parents try to invest preventatives of any screen related issues like these blue light glasses, and limit their child’s screen time as much as possible.

Since eliminating screen time altogether isn’t an option, it all comes down to three words: moderation, quality, and safety. Moderation, we’ll leave it up to you. Perhaps you can find games that you can play with your kids so that you can spend some time together as well. It would be nice to do something engaging with your kids such as playing online roleplaying games (browse this site to have a look at such games) such as Magic: The Gathering or Dungeons and Dragons. Nevertheless, here are three high-quality games and two tools that will help you ensure that your kids have the safest online experience possible.

Birthdays the Beginning

This wonderful game is the brainchild of Yasuhiro Wada, creator of Harvest Moon, and to grasp what it’s like, imagine a combination of Minecraft, Sims, and evolution. There are two modes: Build and Macro. In Build mode, players create a world, with mountains, trees, valleys, statues, and so on. In Macro, you’re now in charge of time, temperature, climate, and life itself (there are more than 300 life forms, including plants, fuzzy mammals, and plenty of dinosaurs). As you move back and forth between the modes, you have a chance to see the intricate and delicate ways that the environment and everything in it affect each other. Too hot or too cold, your creatures could go extinct. Too many critters? They might run out of food. Available for PlayStation 4 and PC. http://www.birthdaysthebeginning.com/
