It is no secret to anyone that the children of the new generations are exposed to a digital environment from home to school, and according to current trends, the internet will be the place where they will spend much of their time throughout their lives.
In turn, this accessibility can entail certain risks if it is used without supervision or accompaniment. In the online world and specifically in video games, there are risks of cyberbullying, phishing, harassment or even the risk of being contacted and obtaining information.
To counteract these problems, Gabu was born a year ago, the best gift for parents, because they know that their children are happy learning and developing skills, making friends through something they like like a video game.
Mario Garcia (Guatemala) and Fernando Corral (Mexico), both parents and gamers, developed this platform where children connect to play on private servers, interacting with other children, through a video call to see each other and discuss game strategies and agreements. ; In each session there is a coach who is in charge of supervising them, ensuring that the experience is appropriate for their age, as well as challenges them, motivates them and promotes a team and harmony environment.
“At Gabu we believe that video games, movies or living certain experiences are accompanied by the age, maturity and profile of each child. Supervised videogames, in the right context, are incredible for development, but also for the fun of children”, commented Mario García, co-founder of Gabu.
The use of video games can help in the development of intelligence, promoting problem solving, agility in decisions, efficiency and strategy. The games also teach team collaboration, negotiating and honoring agreements.
Gabu is on a mission to make his platform the place where kids can play safely. Where the child who is introverted at school is the most extroverted in the sessions because he found that place where he can show his personality without fear of what they will say, or being bothered.
If you would like to enroll your child in Gabu, you can request a free trial session at playgabu.com.
