Advice for Parents on Gaming
Advice for Parents on Gaming:
Gaming can be a fun and beneficial activity for children, offering entertainment, social interaction, and even learning opportunities. However, it can sometimes become excessive, affecting a child’s time management, responsibilities, and emotional health.
To support your child in developing a healthy relationship with gaming:
- Stay Informed: Understand both the positive and negative aspects of gaming.
- Set Boundaries: Help your child manage screen time and balance gaming with other activities.
- Watch for Signs: Be aware of emotional or behavioural changes that may signal unhealthy gaming habits.
- Use Trusted Resources: The NHS offers a dedicated page with tools, tips, and videos for both parents and gamers. These resources cover screen time management, emotional wellbeing, and more.
