my partner does not allow gaming at all

What? I’m curious to hear why. Gaming has shown to increase hand eye coordination, better thinking and logical skills, and if you go for non-electronic gaming it can help a person develop social skills by interacting with others.

A blanket ban on gaming just seems short sighted, rather than teaching them rights and wrongs around playing and overplay
