What is the Collaborative Entertainment trend?

Collaborative Entertainment: Family-focused entertainment is evolving to include traditionally "adult" activities. This shift can be partially attributed to the fact that millennial parents don't believe in denying their children or themselves, but also because the next-generation family is characterized by an increasingly collaborative relationship between parent and child. Marketing experiences that recognize this equanimous shift will succeed in appealing to the modern family.
