Thinking with Hats

White Hat
  • Some parents buy inappropriate games for their children
  • Children's behaviour can be affected by these games
  • Some parents are not engaging with their children
  • Online play often results in children picking up bad language and behaviour
Red Hat
  • It upsets me that parents aren't engaged enough with their children
  • I don't like it when I play online and kids are swearing at me because there's no repercussions if they do
Black Hat
  • Even if we do something about this issue, kids will still get access to the games at their friends' houses
  • Kids will pick up bad language and behaviours on the playground anyway
  • Parents will continue to buy inappropriate games for their kids no matter what gets done about it
Yellow Hat
  • Removing kids from online play will result in more pleasant communities
  • Parents engaging with their kids will help the kids learn and grow into decent people
  • Parents will be teaching kids that they can't always get what they want.
Green Hat
  • See previous blog posts for the ideas I've thrown around.
