  • Regardless of the source’s background, the information she mentioned actually reflects current knowledge of how infants and older children develop. In order to develop emotion regulation skills, healthy attachment, and social skills, we do naturally look away from our caregiver and others doting on us as a way to self-regulate intense feelings.

    In fact, many children can develop attachment and emotion regulation issues if caregivers aren’t responsive and share compassion or empathize with a child’s behavior (e.g. a baby becoming upset and crying if- when looking away- the caregiver instead tries to get its attention repeatedly and not giving the child a break.) That’s why it’s important to have some level of emotional intelligence to develop healthy attachments with kids and them with us.

    For more information, you can look up attachment theory and theories on human development (Erikson, Piaget, etc.). This is also mentioned here.

  • When first starting out, I think relaxed games that help a player get used to left and right directions (side-scrolling or platform) and timing on the controls is a good start. Then evolve into camera and movement based controls.

    My suggestions are starting with these:

    My Brother Rabbit

    The Between Gardens

    Dawn (may have some camera control, but this is the most relaxing game I’ve played for that)

    Then move on to these:

    La Rana

    The Room Series

    Aim Labs or any shooting game that has tutorials/ practice mode (for FPS practice)

    These games are found on steam. Note, most of these are casual/puzzle based.

    I don’t have much experience with co-op, so can’t help you there. But I do like the suggestions so far based on reviews.
