I am “guilty” of showing my daughter classic movies including some black and white ones.

I think everyone should watch those, it is like studying the life and culture of the past.

As for games, my partner does not allow gaming at all.

I truly think stuff like this is important. Developing an appreciation and personal connection to cultural touchstones of the past is like a history lesson and familiarizes you with the life experiences of your parents/grandparents/etc.

Gotta educate them on pop culture so they can understand the memes.

That seems like something that should be a discussion rather than an edict

What? I’m curious to hear why. Gaming has shown to increase hand eye coordination, better thinking and logical skills, and if you go for non-electronic gaming it can help a person develop social skills by interacting with others.

A blanket ban on gaming just seems short sighted, rather than teaching them rights and wrongs around playing and overplay

I like to recommend Gold Diggers of 1933 to people who say they don’t like old movies.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

My favorite is Metropolis (1927).

Also a classic. Gold Diggers has top notch shit talking and young Ginger Rogers singing in pig latin. Gave me a huge crush.

I play a kind of bingo in my head when I show my kids old stuff. Just tally up "thats from fortnite"

Season 1 of Mister Rogers Neighborhood and I love Lucy also come to mind.

My five year old loves On The Town with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.

Weird. Do they hate videogames in general or what? Because a number of games can teach "choices have consequences" really well. Maybe put them to play Outer Wilds, I hear it's one hell of an experience to dive into without knowing anything
