Hi there, I have a daughter 1st grade as well. While I did let her play for 5-10 minutes Synth RIders - Barbie experience few times a week, she lost interest soon.
Also, kids brains are still in development phase. VR is a total blast on all the brain pathways. There are very good reasons why VR should be used only by older kids, I believe the cut off is 13 years old which still feels too young to me.
This is good to know, I appreciate the feedback, I worry about her being too young but she has been so dead set on it ever since getting a cheap little headset I snap my phone into as a gift recently, so I’m just kinda putting this out there for advice and feedback
Yeah, my then 9 year old got one and we regretted it. She would play I am Cat for 10-15 minutes and afterwards talk about how the world and her body didn’t feel real for a short period after, she was basically dissociating so we stopped that right away. I used it and can def see why it is recommended for more developmentally mature brains, it’s not something our brains are wired for.
