These days children would far rather play with computer than with there parents. the biggest attractoin in computer games for children are challengin nature, active particpitation and entering a fantasy world. it is creating gap between family members.... do u agree with this and what r ur comments about this ?

I think it is very possible for modern technology to cause a gap between parents and children but only if it's allowed. I make a point of asking questions about games my son is playing and he often has to "bother" me with details of his accomplishments but I am thankful he shares with me. We also have a few games "for the family" that we all play together such as Monopoly - we've actually had the whole family playing at one time on this one. The key is parents being involved and not letting the gap occur.

Yes, I agree. Kids lifestyles now are very different than their parents. Technology is developing very rapidly and it is harder for older generations to keep up. Kids and their parents live in very different worlds to say, and this can create distance in the relationships.
