Of course, Mommy is worry at the beginning. Anyway exam is coming soon. But after a week, I'm more glad than others. The game is simple enough to be enjoyed by the young and young-at-heart alike. It caters for both serious and casual gamer. Having this simple activity pushing us to have looong walks, our family bonds are stronger than ever. We helps each other, laugh together, and most importantly we can talk to our children as equal. Having this commonality helps to reach out to them, it relaxes them enough to open up to us on important matters. This is something so special because we get to see the children as they are. How they think, how they interact with peers, how competitive they are, how they utilize resources, ...
Not that we don't have all those above prior to Pokemon Go craze. I'm writing this to share that the game does have a positive impact for us. Not all troubles and risks.
Addictive? Sure it's possible. But hey, Facebook and WhatsApp are addictive too. Many have spent aimless hours posting and chatting and e-stalking people. Instead, take this opportunity to teach the children that yes we know the game is fun, but we should exert self-control.
Stay positive. In this era, if we take all the nay says, life wouldn't be much fun.
A wise friend shared with me before:
As a human, don't blame others. Instead, do self control and self check. To improve, instead of competing with others, always try to outdo one's own capability.
