When parenting meet gaming

My mother compelled me play 24 hours game in a row only given water when I was in elementary school.

In elementary school, like every little boy, I also started playing video games with my classmates. In the game, people can experience things that cannot be experienced in the real world without any danger. If life is more exciting than Tomb Raider, then I think there will be very few people left to play those games.

Playing games takes more time, which leads to less time available for study, and my parents pay lots of attention to my eyesight, so they allow less time to play games than I want to play.

Not long after I played, my parents wanted me to stop playing games in the future forever. So my mother once put forward a creepy suggestion: “I will give you a chance to play on the computer for 24 hours. You are not allowed to sleep in the middle, you are not allowed to eat, and you will only be given water.”

This suggestion seems simple, but it hides infinite murderous intentions.

First of all, playing 24 hours is very harmful to your body, not to mention not letting you eat, she just wanted to use this trick to drag my body down and make me feel that the game is harmful, from now on forever not play games.

Mom’s offer is: if you don’t agree to the above terms, you’ll never be able to play the game in the future!

No way! because of such greedy terms, I can only agree.

The program started in one night, intending to have me play games for 24 hours, and to make sure I didn’t sleep, my mom asked my dad to watch me on the couch.

Dad just lay on the sofa all night, eyes half-closed, looked at me fiercely, whenever I felt sleepy, or when I wasn’t looking at the computer, he immediately shouted in a low voice saying my name.

Since the beginning of this campaign, I knew it would not turn out well.

From night to morning, and from morning to night, I didn’t sleep a single minute, and I didn’t eat a single meal. Whenever they ate, the two of them sat at the table, looked at me with mocking eyes, and seduced me with food.

They used to pick up some meat on the chopsticks, swayed in front of me, and said, “You have no food to eat! Hahahaha”.

However, because I haven’t slept for many days, my mental state is very poor, I have no appetite at all, and I am not attracted to their seduction.

At that time, the whole world seemed meaningless, the sky was spinning, the earth was shaking, and I could feel that I was dying.

However, the vicious plan continues and I have no choice until the end.

With the company of that long night and my father’s unremitting efforts and supervision, I finally got through this day.

This day was full of sweat and heartache. My eyes were dry and sad because of constantly looking at the computer screen, my spine was sore from sitting and standing for a long time, my brain could no longer function, and my body could not obey.

But when I saw the rising sun, I felt I saw it a lifetime ago.

Watching my mother wake up from a sweet dream, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

After listening to this method, my mother’s younger brother also implemented this method in Dongdong. Unexpectedly, the child went to bed at midnight and continued to play games after that. The method failed.

Although this method seems effective, it is not very effective. Because it doesn’t address the root cause of kids playing games: their real life isn’t as fun as gaming. This is unavoidable, so they should be properly allowed to play the game.

Games can be divided into two categories, one is stand-alone and the other is online.

How to let children finish single-player games in a short time?

According to what I have concluded, the correct method is to open the game, adjust the money/equipment/ability to full level, and make it invincible mode (you will not lose blood when attacked by the enemy, you can kill the enemy in seconds), as long as you play all the levels, you will not be able to. Will keep thinking about it.

For example, in one game on iPad, I spent a lot of time playing a certain level repeatedly before I failed, and it was difficult to pass. After I modified my money to the max, I completed the level that originally took 30 minutes to play in 2 minutes, and the whole game was cleared in 2 hours, and then I found that the game was boring.

There are also online games. I bought a full-level account for 1 euro. After a few hours, I was not interested in continuing to play. After playing a few more games in this way, you will find that these games are roughly the same, and it is not very interesting to play again.

However, this method like online games may not work, because the biggest fun of online games is to play with other people, even if you hang up and play with others, you can play for a long time. The best way I can think of at the moment is to start playing new online games, not discussing online games with my classmates, and only play single-player games.

Game Theorem: Only play open single-player games, avoid starting new online games

The main reason I don’t play games is that nothing I learn from games is real. The theorems of the game world only apply to games, and the theorems of real life are the ones that accompany us all our lives.
