Parenting Challenge Workshop

Communicating & Engaging Gaming Youths at Home through Role Play

About the Workshop

This 2-hour workshop is a follow-up to our Parents Webinar: Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Addiction. During the Webinar, communication strategies and theories on games and gamers were introduced. The application of the strategies and theories in a real-life family situation is not easy.

Role play is a good tool to help contextualize the strategies and theories for home situations and deepen the adoption of strategies by reenacting them in a safe environment. For example, role play is used to rehearse the diffusion of difficult situations to prevent confrontations that can jeopardise parent-child relationships.

COMEBACK psychologists will put out common scenarios in families and through role play to illustrate the application of the strategies and theories discussed.

The Parenting Challenge Workshop on 29 May 2022 at Digital for Life Festival. Each workshop is kept small to facilitate interaction between parents and COMEBACK Psychologists.

Nicholas was very candid & gave a lot of real life examples & practical techniques to talk to our children. Would be good to have multiple facilitators & do role plays. But i can imagine that to be a half day class or even 1 whole day.
