This is a great opportunity to understand what games they are playing and for how long. With an open line of communication and clear boundaries you and your child can create a healthy gaming routine.
Asking them about their favorite games is a great way to establish a connection outside of gaming. For example:
- If they enjoy playing creative games like Minecraft, you can encourage them to pursue creative interests outside of gaming like art, music, etc.
- If they enjoy competitive games or sports games you can explore clubs and sports outside of gaming.
If you are a gamer yourself you can play games with your child and show them that while you enjoy games yourself, there is a time for work and a time for play. If you do not game, you can watch your child play and ask them questions about the game to get yourself more involved and understand what they enjoy so much about them.
