Don't Let Kids Play The Wii!!!

on christmas my little cousins came over and of course like all kids they are wii-fanatics. so i set up the wii in front of my dad's new samsung 720p dlp.

big mistake.

we were playing wii sports, the baseball one, and no matter what you say kids are going to make those exaggerated movements. I kept telling her you could just flick your wrist, you don't have to do the full movement, but they wouldn't listen. Next thing you know she flings my brother's wii-mote into the the tv stand, just barely missing the new tv:o. I almost had a heart attack. Good news was the wii-mote didn't break (hats off to nintendo for making a durable product).8)

anyone else break a sweat when you let little kids play on your wii? :?

Kids can't play the Wii properly.

It wasn't designed for them. It was designed for grown up people.

Just tell them to wear the wrist strap.

It doesn't matter if they wear the wrist strap or not, kids always make their way closer and closer to the TV. I make my kids play Wii sitting down after they put a nice scratch on my TV.

We found Wii also plays better just flicking your wrist anyway.

The Wii hardware itself is not ment to be handled by little children/ The games could use a little more maturity though.

Whenever my little brother plays I ALWAYS tell him to wear the wriststrap

That's why you tell them to wear the wrist strap.

And if they don't listen, well scold them.

Uh, what are you talking about? I don't know where you got that, but it couldn't be more wrong.

My niece and nephew (both under 4) can ONLY play the Wii. When playing something like the 360 they can't even control the character, dual analogs are too complicated for them. They just constantly run things into walls and stuff. On the other hand they love to play Wii Sports, especially bowling.

The Wii was designed in many aspects for children in mind.... from the simple control scheme all the way down to a huge portion of the games that are kid-friendly.

definitely, small movements work way better.

Tell them to properly wear their wrist straps. If they don't listen, that's when you slap the kid and kick them out. (probably a bit less violent though)kittykatz5k

These modern Kids are so coddled. I got my *** kicked when I did something wrong, and I've never been "Traumatized" or violent even once. I never committed a single crime, even speeding. I learned how to use a computer when I was 4. I learned how to read while trying to use DOS.

I fully support a small bit of harsher punishment for harsher faults but you know how legal issues are now a days.
