Let them play! #shorts

If there's one thing that you want to do to protect your kids psychological well being, it's let them play. Play is critical for psychological development and wellness because it's one thing if a parent or a teacher says hey, don't do that, but if a friend tells you hey, if you act like a jerk, I'm not going to play with you, that builds resilience, that tells us how to get along, that tells us how to negotiate a conflict. I always tell parents who tell me oh my kids online too much. I said do you actually play these games with your kid? Have you ever tried to play Fortnite? It's not a video game, it's a place to hang out with your friends. That's really the core of why I believe that the lack of these psychological nutrients is really the disease that we need to fix that the tools that the kids are using are just the symptom of that dysfunction.
