What if there was a way to fuse your child's love for gaming with academic success? Imagine a household where video games aren't a bone of contention but a tool for positive reinforcement. Meet our guest, an expert in gaming and parental tactics, who shares his experience balancing being a dad and a gamer. He offers a fascinating insight into his unique reward system, which he uses to motivate his kids to excel in school. Hear all about how his 15-year-old son, an avid gamer and honor student, navigates this system.
We've all heard that parenting doesn't come with a manual, but what if you could gather valuable insights from another parent's journey? Our guest reveals his strategies that helped his children improve their grades, including the controversial practice of taking away their cherished items to teach them about consequences. He engages us in a profound conversation about the importance of parental control and the lessons it can instill in children.
Moving from gaming to streaming, we weigh the pros and cons of this popular activity among kids. We take you through the process of setting up a live stream while discussing vital elements like parental controls, profanity filters, and managing streaming for positive outcomes. Our guest also shares an unexpected side of his life - a 90-day streaming project that yielded surprising financial results. This episode is not just about parenting and gaming; it's about navigating the ever-evolving landscape of the digital age. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that could revolutionize your approach to modern parenting.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
