How video games can power up your parenting | Hannah Boquet

In this TED Talks Daily episode, host Elise Hu introduces Hannah Boquet, an esports competitor, who shares her experience of connecting with her children through video games. Boquet recounts her initial struggles with Fortnite and how playing together fostered communication, taught her about her children's world, and ultimately strengthened their bond. She extends this personal narrative to discuss the broader benefits of esports, including inclusivity, skill-building, and its potential as a tool for parents to connect with their children and understand the digital landscape they inhabit, even using it as a novel way to introduce a new partner to her family. Drawing from her own childhood memories of playing video games with her father, Boquet advocates for embracing esports as a means of connection and shared experience between generations.
