Raising Kids in a Video Game World
(Live Online Session #1) In this online event you will understand why kids love video games, the benefits they receive from playing, the hidden risks and dangers to be aware of, and practical strategies for safe and balanced video game play for your family.
Hear tips from industry experts and students and get answers to these important questions:
- My son is begging me to let him play video games. What are some of the reasons I should let him?
- What do kids usually see as the good and bad sides of playing video games?
- My child seems fine. What are some of the behaviors I should be looking for while they are playing video games?
- What are some of the effects of letting my son play video games for too long?
- Are Roblox and Minecraft safe for my 11 year old? I've heard some scary stories but all of her friends play.
- What are some of the ways predators are getting kids to open up and share information?
- Have there been any new video game dangers or research I should be aware of?
