My man and I are both geeks. There are so many things we want to teach our son...But what should we teach him first? The Way of the Force, all about muggels or maybe the rules of warhammer? What do you say?
We started with Superheroes and their universes. I think this was the easiest one purely because of the amount of resources out there, comic characters are marketed for children so there is an endless supply of clothing, toys, cartoons etc. Both my children have also watched Doctor Who from being very small, Maddie was 3 when they rebooted it so she has been an avid Whovian most of her life. But please I implore you to make sure your children know all 11 (nearly 12) Doctors. After that it sort of went Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
It still frustrates me a little that even my eldest is still just too young for the likes of Buffy, Firefly and Supernatural. But at least I have that too look forward. It’s amazing to watch your children experience such iconic characters for the first time. We also got our children into gaming from being young, they have heard all about our rpg characters and last year we got them playing D&D. Children think differently about the world and so their choices were so imaginative and very effective. Other table top games should be taught, they need to understand rules and turn taking ;)
When it comes to computer games Minecraft is the must have for all parents. My son started playing at 4 and the creations he has managed to make blew me away. By 10 my daughter was running her own family friendly server. You can read more about why I think Minecraft is awesome here:http://www.geek-pride.co.uk/minecraft-the-must-have-toy-for-geeklings/
Oh and lastly, since being very young they have been schooled in zombie apocalypse protocol. You know, just in case.
