Internet Safety Speaker and author, Jesse Weinberger, hosted two sessions at John Marshall High School’s Center for Performing Arts where she went over the basic “dos” and “don’ts” of navigating the internet.
In today’s episode, I’m going to help the Squid Squad teach their parents why you cannot, in fact, pause a live game. Explaining to parents how live games work, (because they’re LIVE). Helping parents imagine how it feels to be yanked out of their world – like by a Magic Claw. Jesse “Big Mama” Weinberger is an Internet Safety Speaker & the host of the Internet Safety Podcast: Big Mama’s House Podcast- A Podcast for Teens
Hey Squids!
Sick of your parents asking you to pause a live game???
Well, then you’re in the right place.
Step One
Listen to Big Mama’s House Podcast – Season 2 Episode 3: No Mom, You Can’t Pause a Live Game. And once you’ve heard it, make your parents listen to it! Better yet, sit next to your mom, and when you hear Big Mama say *exactly* what YOU are always saying – just smile and say “You see???”
Step Two
Grab a copy of the digital flowchart for parents of gamers. It’s a literal step-by-step decision flowchart for parents to decide whether or not they should talk to you while you’re gaming.
