Poll: Do your kids play Fortnite? Do you have any concerns about it?
Hi neighbours,
The latest online craze, Fortnite, has a hold on young Kiwis and concerns are mounting about school children staying up too late to play the game. More than 125 million players worldwide play the game and the multi-player Battle Royale, where 100 people battle it out in a third-person shoot 'em up until the last person standing wins, is hugely popular. More details here: www.stuff.co.nz....
Tell us how you're coping with the new online craze in the comments section - are you having problems? Have you noticed a change in your child's behaviour? Are they losing sleep? How are you managing it?
