I found this article very interesting and thought I'd link it for my fellow Giantbomb users. The reason this article really caught my attention was because the father, Seann, is an educator and actually encourages his children to play games. As I was reading I was impressed by all his methods he incorporates into his children's gaming time. For example he gives his kids a 20 minute warning before they have to shut off the game, parents often tell their kids to turn off the game immediately but Seann realizes it's important for kids to finish what they are doing properly or find a save point. Anyway I can continue rambling on about how much I like this article but you should just read it yourself.

That was a good article. I wish my parents were like that when I was growing up.
