And then this goes back to the social freedoms that online gaming can provide.
So I think if you have a different
differently wired child and you're finding that it's exceedingly difficult to pull them away from their games, especially their online games, you might need to consider the social benefits that they're also gaining from gaming.
It might not just be about why is my child so interested in playing this game.
It might be this is their social refuge, this is where they feel socially comfortable.

So yeah, the shaming is real.
I mean, I have friends with two year olds who are like, Oh, my child is never on the iPad and and the it makes everyone feel bad and I don't know why it makes us feel bad.
