Show Notes

Gaming is a big part of many young people’s lives. As a parent it can be hard finding the right balance (or even knowing what that is) when it comes to both gaming and screen time. In this episode we talk with Nikki Taranis who was recently a team leader with the Australian Childhood Foundation, as she draws on her experience as a social worker and therapeutic specialist, as well as her own interest in gaming.
