Has your child ever dreamt of being the next YouTube sensation, all the while playing with their ‘Influencer Packs’ toys? We're realizing that our kids aspire to careers that didn't exist when we were growing up - they're dreaming of becoming gaming superstars like Ninja. With the rise of subscription-based streaming and the growing acceptance of gaming as a viable career path, it's an intriguing new landscape that we explore in this episode. We share our experiences as parents navigating these new aspirations, and discuss the realities that come with dreaming of being a top streamer, from the dedication required to the importance of time management.
As parents, we realize that the landscape is vastly different from our childhood experiences, with the digital age bringing about new challenges and opportunities. We delve into strategies on how to best support and protect our kids while they navigate this digital world. We discuss the importance of staying current with trends in social media and gaming to guide and safeguard our children in this new world filled with opportunities. It's a journey, and we're inviting you to join us on Dad Mode as we explore the uncharted waters of gaming, streaming, and parenting.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
