[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 401459, member: 1991"] difficult child 3 iss one kid who gets verbally abusive with other players online. Part of the problem is, he's playing a game that is not supposed to be available to anyone under 16 years of age, but I suspect a lot of the other players are actually too young. And so they make stupid moves, or accidental moves. I deal with it by videotaping difficult child 3 (secretly) and then producing it in therapy sessions with him. He knows he has to do better and also knows we will literally pull the plug if we don't like what we hear. Part of the problem - other players are also often inappropriate and this sets our boys off. I haven't banned this, because this sort of give-take/push-pull is what they will encounter in life, and they have to learn how to be more appropriate and deal with it. But I do monitor, and I do step in sometimes. We can't shield our kids forever, so we need to use these events as teaching opportunities. I would strongly urge parents of difficult children especially, to not allow online access if your child is under the required age limit. Or if you do, then stay around and supervise. Marg [/QUOTE]
