Every now and then I'll "borrow" a paper from the pile that gets delivered to my building every morning and read through some of the articles as some never make it to the Internet. I recently came across this article, "Warlike family fun" written by Wendy Harmer (The older gamers will know of her).

The gist of the article is Wendy's son plays WoW and Wendy plays along with him. Her son is only 8yrs old, so he's starting on WoW crack young. But Wendy is taking an interest in her sons life instead of just using gaming as a "get out of my hair" tactic she is actually being a parent and playing with him, which most of the articles I've read in the mainstream press never touch on.

I see gaming as just another activity like sports, its something you would want to do with them and their friends.

Its good to see gaming articles written to encourage parents to take a little responsibility and not just blame games for their kids learning how to swear at gold farmers in Chinese.
