Is your child a 'gamer'

I come to you in frustration. I guess, maybe it’s more of a dilemma. I come to you wanting to educate anyone who may have video game lovin’ children. My intent is not to convict you, make you feel bad or even to really talk about a specific game but I truly want you to understand what is actually in some of these games. Especially for young boys (who I have run into the most) as the market is driven by them. The reason this is at the forefront of my heart currently? It has come up with one of my kids asking me to buy him a certain video game that is REALLY popular right now with all of his friends. I know the “ins” and “outs” of video games because I myself have been a gamer for years and really try to keep up on what’s the new thing. Alyssa and I have been known to sit and play Mario games together for hours! Date night baby! We’re really good at it too.
