About this listen

🎮 Is your son obsessed with Roblox, Minecraft, or Fortnite?

You’re not alone! In this week’s episode of The Mothers of Boys Survival Guide podcast, Suzy and Cheryl talk with Matt Highland, former teacher and co-founder of Hackingtons.com, about what every mom should know about gaming.

From screen time limits and online safety to turning gaming into real-world coding skills, this episode is packed with insight (and a few laughs).

  • Gaming isn’t the enemy — It’s today’s playground for creativity, problem-solving, and social connection.
  • Roblox is a platform, not a game — Kids can build, code, and even earn money creating games within it.
  • Screen time ≠ wasted time — With guidance, gaming can develop real-world skills like coding, teamwork, and strategy.
  • Safety starts with connection — Talk openly with your kids, set boundaries, and model healthy tech habits.
  • Encourage creators, not just consumers — Help your kids channel their love of gaming into learning, building, and innovating.
