I never went easy on my kids with video games. I did teach them how to properly trash-talk though, and how to recognize when trash-talk is and is not appropriate. I also remember when my kids finally beat me at Mario Kart after a really intense race; I nearly cried from how proud I was, because they were cheering each other on the whole time. It’s a cherished memory.

Remember, as long as everyone is having fun, it’s ok to tell them “git gud noob”. And git gud they sure did. I’m so proud of them.
