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.

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

That seems like something that should be a discussion rather than an edict
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 not h 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

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.
