Whether online or in person, socializing is a key activity for kids in this age group. While tweens are comfortable with technology and the digital world, they also enjoy playing games, being creative, and being active. Provide opportunities for them to try new things both on their own and with their peers. Parents and caregivers are still key role models for this age group, so remain present and involved in their passions. View the skill key.

It’s a very cool item as there are nostalgic people like me that prefer the older classic games over our X-Box Ones, so I ordered one. They have recently had to delay their launch, which is something that can happen, BUT it is now looking like walk-in customers will end up bringing these home before the pre-order crowd that entrusted them with their money early weeks or months early. It’s pretty frustrating. Hopefully Arcade1Up acknowledges this mistake. I still think their product is a great idea.
