He said, "Don’t think of gaming as this horrible thing." Ninja, a seasoned gamer, is adept at handling his job and personal obligations. As a teenager, he had participated in various gaming competitions.

On his podcast, Ninja said, "Listen, parents out there, anyone with kids, don't think of gaming as this horrible thing that's happening to your child. First off, number one, they're in your house."

"There's no safer space in the world than being in their room, playing video games, as long as you're monitoring what they're doing up there," he continued.

He further stated, "Number two, you can use it to your advantage. I mean, my mom made me do more chores around the house."

He added, "I had to be more active outside so that I could play more inside and this is when I was young. That was when I was like, seven to twelve."

SypherPK said that in order to have more playing time, he needed to get better grades. He said, "Same thing. I had to maintain certain grades."

He further said, "I was also playing basketball, Varsity, in high school as well. My parents were, 'Gaming is just gaming, as long as you have good grades and you're maintaining your basketball practices, you can game.'"
