I’ve got 3 incredible sons. They all love games and gaming. During this quarantine I’ve set the 2 eldest essays to write to keep them intellectually sharp. My eldest, Carter is 10 his question I set was on Gaming.... I set it yesterday...This is what he’s just handed me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">

If anyone at @IGNUK would love to give any future writing assignments to a young budding gaming journalist https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">

Just had a very incredible chat with Tate (5 years old) just now and he said he doesn’t want to be on the net and it brings me back to the discussion I had with myself about consent. Tate’s intelligence is unreal. A 5 YEAR OLD telling me about his privacy online.

I apologised to him and said I would definitely honour that and going forward I would ask them before I post anything about them online. Loooool feels surreal I’m having this conversation but when I’ve posted stuff it’s because I’m proud. He’s a different lad though.

Very very confident but he’s always been incredibly headstrong. Told me “No” from early on https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Weary face" aria-label="Emoji: Weary face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing"> but yeah I’m glad I could show Carter and Tate your messages they’ve put a huge smile on their boat race!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes">
