A New Narrative: Talking to your teens about video games: Vlog 5 of 5

Talking to your teens about video games. This is Part 5 of a 5 part video blog (vlog) series where we will be looking at trying to change the narrative of how we speak to our kids about technology. We will look at current ways parents talk to teens about tech and then look at a new narrative that teens will respond to better. We need to move from telling to teaching. Today we look at a new way to talk to our kids around the conversations on Video games.

There are 6 chapters on parenting as well as a chapter on media that goes more into detail on this topic in my book Parenting: Navigating Everything. Click Here. Talking to your teens about video games also means you need to have a relationship with your kids to be able to have any sort of influence with your kids on this topic. The first 6 chapters of my book helps with that relationship. 

Below is a video talking about the types of influence you can have on your kids.
