Author: Pam Howard November 19, 2024 Duration: 40:19

What if your fears about screen time and video games are holding you back from deeper family connections?

In today's episode, I sit down with certified Hand in Hand parenting instructor, Velma Gentzsch, who went from video game skeptic to streaming on Twitch. 

Her journey reveals how video games can become a powerful tool for building trust, resilience, and family bonds. 

Along the way, she discovered these games were teaching her son the very skills she worried he'd miss: negotiation, problem-solving, persistence, and even conflict resolution.

Tune in to transform gaming from a source of family conflict into an opportunity for connection!
