How to navigate your child’s first comic con

I was priming my wife with all manner of questions about how to describe it. Some of her friends said coo, while other said have fun. Regardless, I knew that she was going with me to be with the boys, which was fine with me. Our child’s first comic con happened when they were 4 and 2, so I knew that they wouldn’t remember much, but I certainly wanted them to have fun. Here are some tips that we learned during our child’s first comic con.

Oh, even though ours was a comic con, the same basic tips can be carried over to a baseball card show or any other fan conference.

Our Skylander party, talkative children and bonding over video games #Ad

The children in our neighborhood like us. I sent out the call that I needed guests to play Skylanders SWAP Force. The parents must have thought I was trying to open up my own daddy day camp, but I assured them that I just wanted the kids to come over and play Skylanders.

Planning our Frito-Lay and Skylanders party while saving money-giveaway too #ad

Two things: it’s good to have fun and it’s good to save money. Skylanders is also good. Skylanders SWAP Force is also good fun. One of the great things about Skylanders is that every kid who plays the game immediately has a favorite and it’s difficult enough to be competitive, but not impossible. Speaking of a favorite have you voted for your favorite member of the Skylanders Trap Team™ hero finalists yet?

Here is the #PowerofDad that I’m teaching our kids

It’s great fun being a dad. Like it or not those little people, display characteristics that are just like us. Sometimes in my head I run the highly unproductive argument of questioning if I’m over compensating for my personal flaws in the way that I parent. But then if I over emphasize something doesn’t that just make them more curious about it and more likely do or try it?
