My son has clocked the game on the xbox. Their name will be The Squirts, as they share the same computer. They have a fare idea how it works, and as I love not only Freeze Tag but also Snipping too, I will be teaching them both, but only when there is a few in the server.

Kids that age, my vote is to encourage playing outside, reading books or something far more mind stimulating than COD4. Their brains are still forming the neural connections FPS games do not contribute much to that if anything at all. When I was 7 my dad taught me to play chess. I couldn't beat him for a week and then I learned how to play around his tactics and beat him. Since that day I have never let him win. My point being that is one of the fondest memories I have of playing with my dad. Games like chess help the children build problem solving skills. Mule, RANDALL and Damage_inc- 3 Awards

I suppose H2E is the only skill to be gained. I am not a fan of COD but I have to disagree with you, all fast pace fps games have a posetive affect on short and long term memory posetively. Learning pos's, moves and such. And to above comments about it not being good for people with severe autims or autism at all, that's just clear bs. And to Misty, I think it's great that you game with your children. Today there is almost no better bonding then to game with child/parent. I gamed a little with my father when I was younger. I truly wish we did that more and I think Misty as a parent know to balance gaming/IRL by herself....... And on a side note, you can always dump them into the mc server. It's also a less "hostile" envoirment there and there is always younglings there... MistyShell 1

COD4 etc, but make sure they stay away from other "safer", "harmless" games such as Roblox. My 10 year old daughter likes that game but I hate it with a passion. There are a lot of mean pervert people posing as "kids" that do harm your child emotionally at times. I would, if I could, ban that freaking "game". Call of Duty is harmless, kids these days learn all the bad words at school, in my, not always, humble opinion MistyShell 1 Awards
