So you come home early cause your not feeling to well aroud Noonish .You don’t feel like squeezing your car into the garage cause your S.O. doesn’t pull the winter car in enough.
So you park on the driveway and go in the front door.
Upon entering you hear a couple of loud Thuds upstairs and the sound of feet hurriedly running.
You walk upstairs and head towards the closed door at the end of the hall.
Opening the door you see the computer screen with the wow launcher up, still logged onto your child’s account .
Now you know he should be doing his cyber schooling, not playing wow.
How do you punish him?

Resorting to violence first is not the answer.

Log in to his account and empty his pockets, just sell everything and give it away? Or mail it to your account and make them earn it back by being responsible?

We’re playing Warcraft, where violence is the first, second, third, fourth…
Diplomacy is somewhere way after “start again from the top you did the violence wrong”

You can be a part of the movement that opens schools again. Cause literally everyone knows kids are going to be learning a whole lot less while fear of covid still infests this country.

I don’t have a house, a car or a child; some fell sorcery is afoot.
Thus I find the nearest cross and brandish it at the daemonic mimic in bed, bidding it reveal its true name that I may myself liberate from its spell.

Like I said, getting priorities straight. lol
The way children learn is by actions first, not by words.
Words should back up actions.
Did you talk to him or just jump in and punish him? It’s Sunday here no school.
Change his password, put an authenticator on the account, and stop paying for it.
He’ll stop playing when he can’t.
My mom always took the toys away when I wouldn’t do what I was supposed to. Some kids moms don’t, and it shows.

This is totally not where I thought this situation was going! And no, if they are keeping up with their school work and getting good grades you can cut them some slack.

Pop cooldowns and destroy him.
I joke, probably just a stern talking to about how WoW can teach math and various applications of science provided one understands percentages and the difference between multiplicative and additive, but how it won’t help with his other stuff.
Actually, I’m wrong. It’ll also help with literature, reading comprehension, and creative writing.
