No tween or teen wants babyish games brought out when her guests are visiting! So make sure to purchase some really good and mature (but not too mature!) games for her next get together or slumber party. These games are also really great for your teen's party or movie night. It's instant bonding, and we usually end up laughing. We talk about the plays and about our turns and our scores. They avoid eye contact and have become more private.īut when we play games together, we talk. They don't want to tell me about their conversations with their friends or how so-and-so hurt their feelings.
They reduce the pressure on deep conversation and give everyone something to focus on while still providing the time together that builds deep bonds.īut as they've gotten older, their chatter has slowed and almost stopped. I'm very good at games, too, as are my beautiful children.īoard games are a great way to enjoy quality time together as a family.
