Parent Pro-Tip

Encourage your child to view 'Ever_up' as a skill-building exercise rather than a source of frustration. Focus on the small improvements in their motor skills and reaction time. Discuss strategies for overcoming difficult sections and celebrate persistence, even if they don't 'win' in a traditional sense. Set clear time limits to prevent frustration from extended play.
