Video games can instil amazing qualities in children – curiosity,
resilience, patience and problem-solving to name a few – but with
the World Health Organisation naming gaming disorder as a
clinically diagnosable condition, parents and carers can worry
about what video games are doing to their children. Andy Robertson
has dealt with all of the above, not just over years of covering
this topic fo newspapers, radio and television but as a father of
three. In this guide, he offers parents and carers practical advice
and insights – combining his own experiences with the latest
research and guidance from psychologists, industry experts, schools
and children's charities – alongside a treasure trove of 'gaming
recipes' to test out in your family. Worrying about video game
screen time, violence, expense and addiction is an understandable
response to scary newspaper headlines. But with first-hand
understanding of the video games your children love to play, you
can anchor them as a healthy part of family life. Supported by the
www.taminggaming.com Family Video Game Database, Taming Gaming
leads you into doing this so that video games can stop being a
point of argument, worry and stress and start providing fulfilling,
connecting and ambitious experiences together as a family.
