Parent Pro-Tip

Encourage your child to focus on the strategic elements of the game and discuss different approaches to winning. When playing online, remind them that the 'strength system' is just a game mechanic and doesn't reflect their personal worth. Emphasize good sportsmanship regardless of the outcome.
