My two sons are 4.5 & 2.5 and both share time with my DS. The DS is a great system and has helped both my kids with fine motor skills and visual relationships. Both started playing the DS when they were two. The touch screen is a great intro to interfaces. My oldest is now playing some early Mario levels, Mario Kart, and Zelda. The youngest is playing mini games and understands the interface. Gaming is not only a learning experience, but a great time for some shared family time. Playing together is a great social experience. GamerDad's comments are spot on. In fact this weekend, I snuggled up with my son and guided him as he played through a level on Lego Star Wars. Game. Share. Learn. Enjoy. I love the time I get to spend gaming with my children. My two sons are 4.5 & 2.5 and both share time with my DS.
