Gaming and How to Make the Most of it in your Family

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 are not alone if you don’t really understand what is going on when your child games or whether the games they are playing are right for them.

To help with this there is a webinar designed specifically for parents to view through the Raising Children Network.

In this webinar, they will 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 is 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.

Duration: 40 minutes

Please Note: This webinar is prerecorded and was held on Tuesday 15 August 2023.

You may need to fast-forward some parts of the discussion to get to the content.
