NP – Ep 3 – Keeper of the WiFi

Big thanks to Brian Dunaway of Comics Coast to Coast, Film Sack & The Final Score for joining us on this episode of Nerd Parents! We discuss laundry, restricting access to wifi, sleep deprivation, game suggestions for kids that like to role play, & how to balance traditional vs tech heavy parenting styles.

The Internet is Fun
Brian referenced using XBMC on the OUYA (XBMC works on the PC as well)
We drool over SkyDog: A Web App and Smart Family Wi-Fi Router
Nicole backed a Kickstarter project called SoapSox and Mateo’s bathtime is a lot more fun :) Stuffed Animals in the tub!

Family Game Night!
Recommendation from Nicole: Chug Patrol – $4.99 – iOS & GooglePlay
Recommendation from Brian: Skylanders
Recommendation from Cleeo: Several ideas for toddler games that the big kids can get into! Scavenger hunts, “Power Tubes”, Washi Tape/Popsicle Sticks and matching, String art

Solicited Advice References
My Tot Clock – please note that it’s a little bright so you might put some window tint film on the front (good for the windows too!)
Great games to RPG games for kids: Lego Marvel, Lego Star Wars, classic Dungeons & Dragons or Dungeon Board Game
Thanks to Derek, Ryan, James & Lady Steinberg for their emails!
