Today I'm joined by freelance journalist, gamer and Dad Andy Roberston. He's helping parents understand why their children play games and what is really going on and how parents can become involved with their children and have conversations.
We talk journalism, balance, what games are and what games you can play as adults, why gaming is such a good tools for you as a family when embraced and the science is de-Mystified (Theres a gaming joke in there). Games are not bad 'things' nor are children 'addicted' and helping you to see what the games are is out interview topic today.
This is another great episode and if you are a parent please do share this with other parents!
