I told 8 we can always work through these things together, and that "it's always okay to ask if you're not sure." Then we brainstormed some ways to manage the Creepers and work through the distraction to build even if there are a whole bunch of Creepers wandering around in the background. 5/

I then explained--if we let ourselves use violence to solve problems in video games, then it can become easier to see violence as a strategy for solving problems in real life. "Does that make sense?" I asked. "Yeah," 8 said, "I'm really sorry. I won't do it again." I thanked 8 and offered a hug. 4/

I didn't want 8 to think I was mad, so I took a breath, sat down, and asked if we could put down the controller for a minute and talk. 8 nodded. I asked, "Why do you need to get rid of the mob?" "They're really distracting when I'm trying to build," 8 explained. And my heart sank further. 2/

While doing laundry this morning, I walked by my 8-year-old, who was playing Minecraft on Creative Mode (the only mode we allow). "What're you building?" I asked. "A cannon," 8 said. "Oh yeah?" I asked, "Why?" 8 replied nonchalantly, "To get rid of a mob of Creepers." I stopped cold... 1/ 🧵
