Many families are spread across the miles, sometimes across several countries. From a military mom stationed overseas to a grandfather who retired down in Florida – we are often reliant upon technology to help us meet in the middle. There is no more important area for this than our bond with the children in our lives. Our own kids, our grandchildren, nieces and nephews and siblings… We know a phone call is great, but it’s not the same as interacting. Video calls are a bit better, but with younger children you’re sometimes left just staring at each other or (usually the case with my kids) they just wander off to play with a toy and leave Grandma saying, “Where did you go?”.
Panasonic has introduced a new way to grab some quality time – no matter how far away you are.
The My HomeTeam™ App is an online service that connects you in a way that not only entertains children, but also creates laughter, discussion and memories. By connecting your My HomeTeam accounts through your desktop computer or tablet – you can stop asking “So….how is school?” and start interacting by reading stories and playing games together.
Grandparents – According to the AARP, over half of grandparents in the U.S. live more than 100 miles from their grandchildren; 43 percent live more than 200 miles away. Now Grandpa can battle with the grandkids in popular games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Checkers.
Parents – Military service, work travel and more often take parents away from home. No matter if it’s for one night or many, now mom or dad can still read the kids a bedtime story before saying Goodnight.
HomeTeam lets you do more than talk and listen – it lets you engage through video chat while you read or play. See their laughter, hear their voice and help them learn and explore all at once. It helps preserve and/or create lasting bonds between children and adults who are separated by distance. With HomeTeam, you share every fun moment.
Choose from child friendly games like checkers, hidden object, go fish and more. Or, read books in a wide range of literature genres: poems, animal adventures, early learning and historical are just a few you can pick from. You can also filter by age.
Both kids and adults will have a great time, while also learning basic skills like math, vocabulary, science, logic and more.
