<p>I agree that there can be a great deal of creativity associated with computer gaming, and have a 13 y.o. S who has shown this to me several times over.</p>
<p>My biggest concern with this (and the reason I am insisting that S also have other interests/activities) is that there it seems to be so socially isolating. I actually do know a few girls who have this interest, but they tend to have poor social skills. Mathmom’s suggestion of networking is a good one.</p>
