AskAboutGames On The Road: Advice On Parenting Podcast

17/10/2022

We like to get the word out in all sorts of ways. Recently our editor was invited onto the Parenting for Faith podcast to talk about how video games can be a positive part of family life.

To game or not to game? Maybe that’s not a question in your house – gaming seems to be part of every child’s life. But some of us adults are just catching up, and if, like me, you have never gamed and may have heard some stories about gaming that create fear in you, it can feel daunting for your child to be one step ahead.

Along with the podcast, we also wrote a "Raising Children with Healthy Video Game Habits" blog for their community. It was a really useful conversation that raised lots of helpful questions. As you can see in the blog we highlighted our Get Smart About Play resources, along with the VSC Game Ratings and the Family Gaming Database.

If you would like a session like this for your school, group or community to get in touch.
