If your girl loves feeding her baby doll, there are many apps and online baby games for girls that she’ll enjoy. When it comes to choosing the right one, Scott Steinberg, the author of “The Modern Parent’s Guide to Video Games,” says to find games that exercise imagination, creativity and storytelling. “Games for young girls encourage them to exercise their minds and reflexes and role-play a variety of scenarios, from solving mysteries to saving the kingdom.”
Kids want games that are of value and fun. “We find games that let kids practice social skills, empathy, nurturing and more and we give it an LQ (Learning Quotient) rating,” says Randy Kulman, the president of Learning Works for Kids and the author of “Playing Smarter in a Digital World.” “Look at what your kid enjoys and figure out what’s in the games they play.”
