Right now fortnite/games are your kids playgrounds.The good and bad dynamics exsist in the same ways. The major difference is it’s even easier to have a clique , include or exclude as the kids can’t see the reaction. It’s still bullying if in a game lobby or in a playground.

Difference is they would say things online that they would not say in person for fear of a wallop
(Same as adults on twitter).
They can throw words down a microphone, but those words are even more hurtful in isolation, because they can’t just go and make up after break.

Another new one to watch for is kids sending audio messages via the game chats offline, even if not online. They don’t have the sophistication of understanding the power of these. Kids wake up to a torrent of messages that were throwaway. Check what your kids are sending.

Just sit or earwig and make sure your kids are equally safe and happy and not falling into a trap of making this tough time even harder.
By the time they go back to school some relationships may be broken forever otherwise.

Understand this world, join in and play with them, it’s as important to them as anything right now, and thier only contact with the “kid” world so make sure it’s a posative one. I’ll do my bit...you do yours okay?
