Can parents contribute to reducing flames from players?
I read the following in a comment on Reddit:
"I play games with my kids all the time and I'm 100% convinced that parents that play with their kids helps avoid the kids who flame and freak out when they play online.
Example: learning baseball from my dad as a kid, if I had a tantrum in practice or even during a game, I'd get "the talk".
I follow that same rule with video games with my kids. If they freak out during a game or when they lose - they get "the talk" and sure enough as time goes by... they don't anymore."
I actually agree with the philosophy and 100% think that parents can make an impact by showing and teaching kids how to be graceful, humble and respectful, even in defeat. What do you all think?

Re: Can parents contribute to reducing flames from players?
I used to play GTA and Need for speed most wanted with my dad when i was like 8 or something on PS2.
GTA didnt work out so well, since the first 5 mins i played this game i ran over like 100 people, so he took away the CD for the game.
NFSMW played a few races, then we played Drag races i didnt knew what to do and he was constantly laughing about it and insisted on playing that stupid drag race.
4th time playing that stupid drag race i threw the controller in rage on the ground and broke it.
He beat the shit out of me.
Never played a video game with my father again.

Yes, playing with your parents is indeed fun.

No, becuase parents play so bad, your team will get flamed hard.

Just tell your dad to "git gud fegget" until he starts flaming too.
