Care and Feeding is Slate's parenting advice column. Have a question for Care and Feeding? We made a huge mistake. This summer, we purchased a switch for our boys (almost 5, and newly 7). The 5 year old isn't that into it, but my 7 year old is thrilled to finally be able to talk games and be in the loop with all his peers. We researched and picked games that were age-appropriate.

Then passed the note along to his mom, Lori, who then posted it on Reddit.
