Everlove, What a wonderful insight on a teenager hooked to gaming. It is true that common feelings about gaming, especially those of us fearful parents center around the lack of healthy eating/sleep habits, lack of physical exercise, fear of our children engaging with faceless internet rogues etc. There are plus sides to gaming too like sharpening the competitive spirit and sense of achievement. However, not many parents have the patience that you showed to let your son experience his own gaming obsession, grow out of it and then apply what he learnt to his own reality. Kudos on your job as a parent. I love the term 'wus-band' by the way! My wife is going to love that term. LOL. Upvoted and followed
I would be honored if you check my latest blogs when you have time. I have posted the first of my tiger pictures with a story of that encounter. Your comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
It really takes daily effort to keep our own fears under control--that is until we really understand the value they may be receiving, and our lack of awareness of what that could possibly be. We never know what is going to happen, so embracing everything is optimal. Just imagine if, god forbid, anything were to happen to our child that caused death, and we had to live with ourselves knowing we tried to keep them from the thing they loved the most. Living for passion is something we can instill in or children which will last them a lifetime and give them the knowing that true immersion in joy is possible. That is a gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks for the acknowledgement, the comment, upvote and follow @vm2904. I'll take a little peek over your way and see what's up in your world.
