I have to say, I am actually proud of that parent, he seems decent. I don't normally like watching videos with kids in it (there's probably a bad joke in there) but this was admittedly cute :3 I think I might make 'People don't want to be sword' my battlecry.

Well, as long as she learned from the experience (and it seems that she did), then I'm all for this.

"people don't want to be sword" indeed. No they do not. If you sword them, you make them mad. And you know what they say! In subzero skyrim....Guards sword YOU!

As adorable as this is, I don't think she should be playing Skyrim at all. "Sword him" - I don't know if that was adorable or creepy, but I loved it.

Aww, how cute. The unarmed man asked her to go away and she shouted No a few times then killed him with an axe. A valuable lesson in conflict resolution has been learned... right?

Sorry, but I'm gonna be the guy that says this is totally inappropriate for a child. I don't see how this is different from the ever popular "I saw a dumb parent in Best Buy picking up Black Ops for her 10 year old..."

I hope this is a one off, and not how her 'gamer family' juggle looking after a 3 year old and playing Skyrim, or any other game, at the same time.
If anything I think this is teaching her a valuable lesson about consequences, I mean, she was able to figure out that people don't like to be sworded, most games reward you for swording people, this one actually taught her not to sword. Besides, children are exposed to much much worse everyday. Just not in as large numbers as they used to be.

Eventhought he explain it fully about the situation and the moral/ lesson she had learn. I bet there are some people out there who still take it the wrong way (the people who claim violence games is bad)!

Interactive education, bitches. I'm sure this'll stick with her longer than any parent telling their kids what's moral.

I completely agree, this is a much better than a lot of 'adult' content that children are exposed to, and if she does learn the lesson from it, then she will come out of it better for it.

To Sixcess, would you prefer this child was exposed to TV and magazines which promote the sexualisation of children and women, teaching her that the only way to get through the world was through beauty and perceived attractiveness.

Or even, if you take the exact same situation, would you prefer to have her learn the same lesson in the playground? Someone gets in her way, prevents her from getting to her favourite toy or from moving through a corridor, and decides to to resolve it in the same way by using violence to remove the obstacle, only to encounter the real repercussions for using violence against another person. Would that be the preferred alternative to exposing a small child to the 'safe', 'controlled', parent supervised but M-rated Skyrim?

Personally, I would rather expose my child to Skyrim, under supervision, and learn the same kinds of lessons about life, than the more unpleasant lessons that I learned to the same end.

I kind of agree, however, they better not teach her that if you steal something or kill someone while noone sees you and you're being sneaky, you can get away with it XD.

Already saw this, it's the cutest gaming-related thing I've ever seen. And I like how the father's comments indicate a better knowledge of how to be an adequate parent than any of the deranged yammering that the more misguided of our moral guardians like to indulge in.

A bad parent asks how the world can change to best accomodate their child. A good parent knows how to introduce a child to the world.
Yup.

After all the video is not about glorifying some sort of rampage on her part- she is clearly learning about the nature of morality in the justice system, in a safe environment, long before most of her peers. That can only be a positive experience, especially with intelligent and even-minded parents to help her come to grips with these new realization.

And that, obnoxious moral guardians of the world, is how parenting is supposed to work.

Also, d'aww you can almost see the little wheels in her head turning as she tries to figure out what's going on.

Congratulations! You watched the video without reading any of the seven paragraphs that accompany it, and made an inflamed response to it! You are now Mayor of the Internet. Awaiting orders, sir.

Once I stopped bleeding from my ears, I was genuinely impressed by this story. Three year old girl learns that screaming and swording is not a universal solution to your problems. More importantly, "don't be a dick" is a practical lesson to learn at any age.

Screw the alphabet, I'd be happy if one out of every ten kids knew how to negotiate without throwing a tantrum.

Nothing's cuter than watching a 3-year old girl axe someone in the face.

Still, a 3-year old playing Skyrim? *tsk tsk*

I really regret that it annoys me such that someone deemed this worthy of an article.
But if people enjoy it, I guess I'm in the wrong. To me it's just an annoying kid playing a game.

But at least I don't find it 'wrong'. With intelligent parents I would imagine it's probably more benefit than harm.

Hey she learned a lesson about consequences of actions in a safe environment through video games! This is not how things are supposed to be! Children must be brought up strapped to tables where they cannot move or talk or think while the parents endlessly lecture them about what's right and what's wrong! Video Games are the devil's domain, a Gomorrah of violence and despicable sexual acts that exist no where else in society! I am so offended by this I must petition the government to do something about this!

If you can't tell, the above is satirical. Now I'm off to meme "People don't want to be sword."
