Parenting our gamers
For pre-teen and teenage children, gaming can be a social activity that encourages cooperation, group problem-solving and teamwork. It can also be a way for children to unwind or explore their creative sides.
But you’re not alone if you don’t really understand what’s going on when your child games or whether the games they’re playing are right for them.
In this webinar, we’ll explain:
- how to help your child get the most out of gaming
- how to reduce the risk of negative gaming behaviour
- what your child can teach you about gaming – and why it’s good to join in sometimes!
This webinar is suitable for families with children aged 11-16 years who want to learn more about their child’s gaming and how to make the most of it.
In the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, share experiences, and hear other parents’ experiences and ideas.
