I'm with you in this one, you're not the only person thinking that. But that might be some very modernistic parenting things, where we try to limit screen time as much as possible during the early development phase of our children's brains.

I had the exact same reaction when I read "5 year old" playing Minecraft.

Although I don't share my wife's extreme view where she would prefer no computer games until the age of 12 or something, cause this is just unrealistic in our society. I'd prefer guiding the approach, and I'd probably start somewhere around 5 or 6.
