My son is 9. He has a strong sense of justice.
When something feels unfair to him he reacts. Immediately. Without stopping.
I tried talking to him. "You don't need to react like that." "Think first." He hears, understands, but a week later it's the same thing.
I realized that talking about it isn't enough - you have to practice it.
So I built him a game: the Time Machine ⏰
The idea is simple: after an event happens that triggers his emotional intensity and his law of justice, he can open the app and tell (a real post-mortem) - what happened, what he felt, how he reacted, and then a "game" begins:
He presses the "Time Machine" card, goes back to that moment, and chooses to solve it in a different way.
This way it's not someone telling him what to do. Not a teacher, not a counselor, not dad. He invents the solution himself, chooses himself.
And in each round he earns a card for a collection 🃏 (like all kids he also likes collecting cards, so I used that).
I built it with an AI that knows how to ask, answer and respond and above all not judge.
We live in an amazing era where you can create tools for self-improvement.
The game is still in initial trial, but my son has already collected 3 cards and yesterday he already told me: "Dad, I think next time I'll just walk away."
Without my telling him anything.
