A Parent's Guide to Dungeons & Dragons

About the adventure

Have you heard your kids talking about Dungeons & Dragons but you don't even know where to start? Whether you're not sure if Dungeons & Dragons is a good fit for your child or you feel it is a good fit but your overwhelmed with the complex rules and number of options, this seminar can help answer all the questions you may have about the game. The practice of intentional 'play' has an important role in the development of any individual and I've been learning the benefits a game like Dungeons & Dragons can have in teaching various social, emotional, and problem-solving skills. Through trainings like Game to Grow's "Applied Role-Playing Games For Community Members" and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing's "Mental Health First-Aid", I've gained an understanding of the need for a creative healthy outlet like Dungeons & Dragons. In the seminar I will provide a background of the game itself, discuss the beneficial aspects of the game, provide advice on how you and your child can learn the rules, explain the differences between playing in person or online, and offer suggestions for which products to invest in (depending on the age of the child and your intended budget allowed). While this seminar has a lot of content available, a majority of the time will be spent diving into the specific topics or questions you have for your specific situation.
