One of the things children love most is games. Whether computer games or those played with the mobile phones, they love them all. That was the case with little Dalian who loves to play with the computer. Each night Dalian will spend hours playing games on the computer with his joystick. His mother Kate became worried about this behavioural pattern but does not know how exactly to tackle it.
One night, she decided to give it a trial. As Dalian was having his sieaster she took the joystick and hid it at the back of the door leading to the dining. When Dalian woke up , he had his bath and got ready for his dinner.
After his dinner, he wanted to resume his games as usual but this time he could not find the joystick. He searched everywhere he felt it must have been kept but could not find it. He asked about it from the mother Kate who denied knowledge of same..
That night Dalian cried so much and he went to his father requesting for a new one. The dad promised to get a new one for him within the week. But each day he comes back from work Dalian will ask and his father will pretend he forgot to get one.
With that Dalian no longer plays his games at night but rather will turn to his books and then sleep thereafter. Kate being a mother was also touched and one day she brought out the joystick from where he has hidden it and made Dalian to agree to play with it for only about two hours each night instead of playing games for longer periods.
