I share this because it was a good reminder for me of how our culture--and even the supposedly "kid friendly" parts of our culture--can make violence seem like an easy and acceptable solution to problems. And a good reminder for me of the work it takes to continually resist those norms. 6/

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 can see why they're distracting," I said, "but, remember, our rule with videogames is no violence. And that means not killing or hurting things--even Creepers." I went on to explain that it can be hard for people's and especially kids' brains to distinguish between real and digital worlds. 3/

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/
