Not often do we see parents scolding their children over mobile games and often we see that parents lecture their children on how it can damage their brains and can get them into some bad manners!!!
Although, in the 21st century, it will be quite wrong that parents to limit their kids from playing games as it would only make them feel tempted to at least play it once... So, there were a lot of research and surveys conducted by scientists and researchers to properly find a solution to this virtual problem...
The answer was, ironically, that "Parents shouldn't discourage their children to not play video games, instead they should give them a time schedule as to when they are allowed to play and when not!!!
Also it is quite effective that a parent should acknowledge the games that their children are playing and monitor and mentor them as to get along with various difficult levels"; Researchers concluded their statement by saying that "Parents who support their kids in playing video games will only be able to make a strong bond between the kid and the parent and will only help to make the kid more confident...." The statement kind of gives a laugh to today's parents, yet this is the technology era and no one can disagree more!!!!
So.... the Question arises " Which games should we make them play, then????" The Ans is right here:
"Mobile Games that Parents can Play with their Children"

The Room :
I’ve had a ton of fun playing The Room with my daughter.

Scribblenauts Remix :
Scribblenauts is an awesome puzzle series, but if you want to make cool stuff — and you can make a whole bunch of cool stuff — you need to be able to type (and spell). So it provides an ideal opportunity to sit and play alongside a younger family member, thinking up crazy plans together and watching them play out.
Astro Duel :
Inspired by classic multiplayer games like Super Bomberman, Astro Duel pits two players against each other in a space battle across 10 different dynamic arenas. You can also use iPhones or gamepads as controllers to make it a four-player affair.iOS, $5 (no in-app purchases)

If regular charades feels a little tired, this digital twist will help spice things up. Instead of one player acting out the cards, the whole team acts them out for one person to guess. With rounds of 30, 60, or 90 seconds, it’s a fast-paced game that’s great for a family gathering.

Bam Fu :
Bam Fu is a competitive multiplayer game where players stab at the screen, competing to make coloured tiles their own.
