Parents often ask me if I should let their kids play video games. They are usually shocked by the existence of parental controls, especially control over time and communication. I think the companies really need to market it better.

I always advocate for parents to let their kids play games under some kind of parental control system, and GAME WITH THEIR CHILDREN. Video games, board games, card games, whatever! Watch their creativity be sparked in real time. Gaming is good for the soul

I usually point parents to @CommonSense for info about what's actually in the games that their kids or playing, or to make sensible gaming purchases for them https://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews
