Many parents today are faced with a new reality: their children are pursuing careers in the gaming industry. My husband and I have been through this, and I want to share our experience, inspired by an article on http://www.nerdly.co.uk/2024/10/29/how-parents-manage-their-childrens-gaming-careers/. When our son first got into video games, it seemed like just a hobby. But over time, it became clear that for him, it was something more — a passion and a goal. Instead of resisting him, we decided to support him. First, we established a balance between school and gaming, setting aside specific time for training and participating in tournaments. An important step was learning about the industry. We read about eSports together, watched interviews with successful players, and even consulted with coaches. Thanks to this, we were able to understand how to properly plan his career, avoiding burnout.

Particularly striking is the discussion of parents’ need to navigate complex issues such as setting up LLCs for gamers, international tax laws, and managing cryptocurrency wallets for prize money. These topics are rarely covered in traditional parenting guides, highlighting the uniqueness of the situation. The article also highlights the changing family dynamics, from transforming home spaces into workout areas to managing a child’s online presence and protecting against cyber threats. Parents are forced to assume new roles, from managers and financial advisors to public relations specialists.
