"This just blew me away!"
Dr. Michael Wu, the psychologist who invented the game to support parents in promoting awareness and mindfulness, is overwhelmed. "These kids do have a sense that this is not okay. But they do think that it is normal! This should alarm parents worldwide. If we don't counteract we're about to raise an entire generation in the firm belief that once you're in charge you can say what you like and get away with it!"
The stories submitted so far are seen as powerful eye-openers by Dr. Wu and his team. They demonstrate that parents, teachers and adults in general are under much more scrutiny by children than they realize. And - on the lighter side - that kids worldwide have a great sense of humour and a high level of tolerance for the mistakes and weaknesses of the grown up world.
Play the game and surprise yourself with your kids' answers!
