A video stream of some sort while kids are playing a game together, like Minecraft or Animal Crossing, seems to work well. The game takes the place of blocks/toy for them to interact with and takes the stress away from them having to give full attention to each other which younger kids aren't really equipped to do.
*ymmv, but it seemed to work reasonably well for my kid and his friends 6-9 yr old age range.
- muzani 6y agoMy kid (6 yo) does fine without the video streaming. It's also good because it teaches her to practice writing. But she goes on rants on why people don't know how to spell "your" and "please". We have to carefully monitor her screen time because online socializing is very addictive, especially for children. They can spend morning until midnight on their phones if you let them. On the plus side, it's a good way to train discipline - they can look at their phones after homework, a shower, cleaning the dishes, and only until 10 PM. Just sneak a new chore in there every month once they do the previous chores automatically.
