Monitor your child's screen time and encourage breaks, especially given the game's addictive design and competitive elements. Discuss the difference between friendly competition and unhealthy comparison. While the game offers cognitive benefits, be mindful of the potential for over-engagement due to its dopamine-manipulating features.
