Positive Influence Gaming Mentor Idea

Looking to gauge interest for a service that provides a positive influence gaming buddy for your child online.

The way it would work is, for an hourly rate, your child is matched with one of our DBS charted and safeguarding trained gamers. They will spend time with your child online, modelling positive gaming habits.

Our focus would be primarily to support them with every day struggles in an environment where they are familiar and how to diffuse "gaming rage" and manage conflict appropriately. We'd also challenge your children to think about internet safety and how they can take initiative in protecting themselves online.

Is this something you'd see as valuable and worth your children's time and your money? If so, how much would you be willing to pay or a service like that?
