Some parents are not happy with Webkinz. It takes up a lot of time, it promotes an artificial community, it costs money. Those are just a few of the complaints I've heard about.
But, for my family, Webkinz has been great fun. My youngest son is just beginning to read. So it isn't unusual for my older son to help my younger one and I help both of them from time to time. They play with each other, send each other gifts and have fun. My younger son has also made a friend online and I'm happy because their chat is moderated by the program so they can only respond from scripted answers. I don't mind them making friends online when I know that no matter who is on the other end my child is safe.
So I like Webkinz and I plan on buying my kids some more pets. Will it still hold their attention in a year? Maybe not but it is drawing us together for now and that has to count for something.
