Do any of these traits sound familiar to you?
  • If you get there first, you win.
  • Trial and error is the best strategy, and the fastest way to learn.
  • Elders and their received wisdom can’t help—they don’t understand even the basics of this new world.
  • There’s a limited set of tools—but some combination will work.
Maybe you've seen some of these traits in your kids. Maybe you've seen them in yourself. They're the traits of the Gamer Generation. In The Kids Are Alright, we look at the ways that Gamers think and point out how their mindset can help everyone - parents and kids alike.

Gamers believe winning matters - that much isn't surprising. But Gamers are actually savvier in many ways than their non-gamer counterparts, and may surprise the world with their talent. So relax, moms and dads, the kids really are alright.
