In this week’s Dad Life episode, we dive into the gamer dad dilemma—what happens when you're clued-up on games, but your partner sees only the worst-case scenarios?
As dads who game, we often understand how to set up content filters, disable online chat, limit exposure to violence, and stay clear of inappropriate themes. But sometimes, our non-gamer partners see a trailer, title, or cover art and understandably worry about what the kids might be getting into.
We talk through:
- 🎮 How to navigate these conversations with empathy and teamwork
- 🛡️ What tools we use to protect our kids in-game
- 🧠 The emotional effects of coming off intense gameplay, and how it can impact mood
- 👨👩👦 How to involve both parents in the decision-making process around games
Whether you're a gamer parent or figuring out how to co-parent through digital territory, this episode is packed with real-life advice, personal stories, and a few controller-related laughs.
