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.
Andy Robertson has been helping families get more from video games for fifteen years. He has written for the Guardian and Forbes, been a broadcaster for the BBC, and now runs the YouTube channel FamilyGamerTV, which boasts 460k subscribers. @GeekGamerDad youtube. com/familygamertv
