Gaming is no longer just entertainment, it's a multibillion-dollar social ecosystem. And, for many kids, it's a primary community and career path. In this session, we'll break down what modern gaming actually looks like, from in-game chats to microtransactions and livestream play, as well as the psychological design behind "endless play." We'll move beyond the old "screen time" debate and share practical strategies for setting boundaries, managing in-game spending, and staying connected to your kid's digital world, so you can support smart choices without shutting the game down.
