nonfiction, video games, parenting, education
Wouldn't it be great if parents learned to game with their kids and stopped worrying about video games? Would students benefit if teachers and school administrators understood the vast potential of gaming in education? Are all doctors and healthcare workers aware of the many advances of video games in healthcare?
"Finally, the voice of reason! I love Jennifer Comet Wagner's approach to this controversial topic. Wagner gives amazing insight for parents and adults who want to not only understand how gaming is affecting this generation but also how to embrace it." --Vanessa Van Petten, Author of "Do I Get My Allowance Before or After I'm Grounded?" and RadicalParenting.com.
“I wrote The Gamer Generation to summarize the research, studies, and articles on the positive effects of video games and to offer resources for those who want to pursue the topic further. Readers will learn that video games not only have many benefits for kids, but for people of any age and for society as a whole.” – Jennifer Comet Wagner
