One day I was in the park with my boys where they I make them run and physical activities, I realized as parents we don’t focus on their mental sports. I started checking what can I do to work on their mental development and realized that one of the best ways are to play mental games.
I started collecting board games and started to play with them twice a week. It’s a brilliant way to pass the time compete intellectually and have fun with family.
