Today, I have the pleasure to speak with Jed Schaffer from Detroit.
Jed is here to share his love of video games, to help a new generation of parents that grew up with video games on how to be a gamer and a parent, and to demystify gaming for non-gamer parents, so you don’t think your child is involved in something negative because you don’t understand it.
Jed has been a gamer for 40 years and a parent for 15. He has 3 boys - twin 15-year-olds and a 9-year-old.
We go deep and peel back the layers of this fast-growing industry.
We talk about and what you will learn:
➤Jed’s background
➤How to manage and set boundaries
➤The importance of communication
➤Respecting your child’s interests
➤The good, the bad and the ugly
➤Parental Controls
➤Behaviour and personality changes
➤Signs of Gaming Addiction
➤Safety
➤Being a Professional Gamer – the Pros and Cons
➤ Video Game Careers
Plus much more…… lots of advice throughout
