Gaming with my teenagers has been a game changer

Started playing Minecraft with my 12 and 14 year old during lockdown and it's honestly one of the best decisions I made. They actually talk to me now and I'm not battling them about screen time because we're doing it together. Yeah they probably still play too much but at least I know what they're playing and we're bonding over it. Anybody else found gaming to be a positive thing when done as a family?

This is gold. My three kids are at that age where they're pulling away a bit, so seeing that Minecraft brought yours closer is really encouraging. Might have to dust off the old gaming setup.

My kid practically lives in the garage with me, and I get what you mean about the talking part. Gaming sounds like a solid way to keep them engaged while you're actually present. Glad you found your thing.

That's awesome man. I've been trying to get my kids away from screens, but hearing this makes me think I'm missing out on some real connection time. Maybe I bring the gaming into a family tent situation or something.
