I have a 13, 9, and 6 year old play. I play with them. They play with randoms at times but not trials past 28 and I don't take them into trials. Well except my 13 year old as he is one of the best players I've seen and played with. I teach them strategy Teamwork game play and when a kid gets something good there is nothing better then listening to true excitement about it. Us older people generally have a fake excitement about things. Bad parents = letting kids play? Doesn't make sense. We live in a digital world... Help your kids through them.... While the younger one's might get upset if something like this happens teach them how it didn't matter. Then grab a control and help them get what they think they lost. There will always be ignorant people.... Help your kids get thick skin and stop atta boy/girl logic. They'll be stronger and better because of it...
