Can your child learn anything from a Webkinz? Sure they can if you as a parent are actively involved. If you want your child to pick up on the right values, you have to be online with your child over at Webkinz World.
Let me give you an example. After you adopt your Webkinz, one is given $2000 in kinzcash. Now just imagine if a parent is not there to guide their child. Since there are lots of cool things at Webkinz World, a child can get caught up with all the cool things and just go on a spending spree. If things go this way, your child probably would not have much money left over to buy food for their Webkinz. Without your guidance your child can also get caught up into the games and forget about their pet. Yes I can see this happening. From neglect, your child’s Webkinz pet gets sick and now it’s not fun anymore.
That is why there must be parent involvement if you want to teach your child good values and responsibility. Do not send your child over to Webkinz World on their own. Be there to guide and show your child the way first. Be there to put everything into perspective. Once you get involved with your child, you are going to love it over there. It really is great family fun.
Help your child gain the right knowledge to:
A. Learn how to spend money wisely and teach them how to save for that piece of furniture they would like to buy for their pet.
B. Teach your child the responsibility that they are going to need to feed, play and give their Webkinz attention. Your child has to know that they can not get fed up and throw their pet away.
C. Make sure your child puts their pet to bed before you get offline, etc…..
D. Manage the amount of hours your child spends online period. There has to be time management.
E. During this process, see if your kid likes the responsibility of pet ownership. You can then make your final decision from there to continue on with this playtime or not.
If you put in the time to show and teach your child how to handle money, how to be safe online and you are involve with them at Webkinz World, then your child will be just fine. You as a parent already have the power to lead and guide your child. You will make your child’s Educational Webkinz adventure a wonderful one.
