Is ‘Fortnite’ addiction among young children actually a real problem?

For all its viral coverage, celebrity fans and massive, 125 million person-strong playerbase, Fortnite is not without its issues.

Despite being rated 12, the super popular Battle Royale game has recently been shadowed by reports of addiction among young children.

Early in June, various sites published a story about a nine-year-old girl who was apparently receiving treatment for being addicted to the game. This led to a slew of similar articles advising parents what to do if they feared their child could be suffering from something similar. A large number of them called out Fortnite specifically.

Could mindfulness make you a better, calmer parent?

It’s all very well trying to remain calm as a parent, but when you have a baby who has thrown porridge all over you, a three-year-old whacking you all with a toy tractor, a six-year-old who refuses to dress for school, and two minutes to get everyone out of the house, how can anyone channel their inner Zen in moments like these? Could mindfulness make you a better, calmer parent?
