78. Should My Child Play Video Games?

Should our children play video games?

More than 2/3 of Americans play video games, and it’s a fairly even split between males and females (although mays tend to put in the most time). So there’s a good chance our children will ask us if they can play video games, and we want to have an answer built out of the Gospel not simply our opinions or feelings in the moment.

In today’s conversation we’ll look at video games versus some of the other favorite entertainment tech options (social media, shows, music), and remind ourselves what the Gospel says about our gaming.

Then we’ll walk through how we can help ensure gaming stays a benefit, not a distraction, to God’s purpose for them.

Finally we’ll address what to do if and when gaming gets out of control—how to spot it and how to lovingly intervene.
