Kim Zoller makes the case for playing board and card games with your family right now. Competition comes from the Latin for "come together." Games build connection and healthy rivalry between people who live in the same house.
Most people who know me know that I am mildly obsessed with games. And by mildly obsessed, I mean completely and totally addicted. I love playing games. I love board games. Card games and games have always been an important part of our family structure. They are so important for building connection, having that face to face contact, fun and healthy competition. Did you know that the Latin root of the word competition actually means strive together, come together. What could be greater than that for the parent, child relationship? It's amazing. Right now. Go to your family, go with your kids and play a game and have fun with it and try to win and lose gracefully, and win gracefully and do all the things that make playing games so much fun. Go play a game now. You will love it. If you need any recommendations, let me know.
