An Emotional Response to Nashville & Violent Video Games with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (#144)

In light of the horrific school killing in Nashville this week, we invited Lt. Col. Dave Grossman to speak to us about the tragedy. Lt. Col. Grossman is an internationally recognized scholar, author, soldier, and speaker who is one of the world’s foremost experts in human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime. 

Lt. Col. Grossman and Melanie discuss the effect of violent video games on children and what we can do as parents to protect our kids from the onslaught of toxic screens.

Our hearts are breaking for the victims, their families, and the killer's family. Our prayers are with you.
