Join us for a virtual session where we'll discuss navigating the challenges of technology usage and parenting in today's digital age!

Welcome to our Parent & Carer Session: Gaming in Your Family!

For pre-teen and teenage children, gaming can be a social activity that encourages cooperation, group problem-solving and teamwork. It can also be a way for children to unwind or explore their creative sides. But you’re not alone if you don’t really understand what’s going on when your child plays video games or whether the games they’re playing are right for them. This workshop will offer you tangible ideas and approaches to help you turn gaming into a positive, pro social experience for your child. Taking away some of the concern and guilt and giving you a broader perspective of video game culture and young people.
