As a young mother, I received all sorts of parenting advice from well-intended family and friends. The best and most memorable was from my sister, a mother to three pre-teen boys at the time. Donna said, "Hold out as long as you can before introducing video games to your son. Once he starts, you will lose him forever." Haha. It sounds dramatic, but I found in some ways that statement to be true. That was in the late 1990s. In 2018, video games brought in $43.4 billion in revenue. H/T The Morning Brew
