Most parents know the struggle of getting their kids away from the abusive use of their phones, laptops or consoles, and most teenagers have heard their parents say a version of “Why are you playing games instead of studying for your exams ?” In this thought-provoking talk, psychotherapist and gamer Niels Weber redefines the role of the screens in a young person’s life, and explain how intelligent communications can make video games and family expectations coexist beyond conflicts.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
