A mom recently posted on a social media forum that she had decided to restrict the amount of time her son was spending playing video games, and her son got really upset at her. Video games were really important to him. He was developing his talents by playing them. How could she restrict that? The mom got all confused and didn’t know what to do or how to respond, and she was asking other parents for help.
Does this scenario sound familiar? Are you wondering if there truly are benefits to gaming that might justify allowing your kids to spend more time on video games? Today, we are going to discuss the top four lies society has taught us regarding video games. We’ll discuss how to counteract those lies. And in the end, we are also going to address what to do if your child has developed an addiction to video games.
