The game aside ...as a father of two girls, 8 and 6 this scares this shit out of me. My 8 year old is just moving out of the fantasy/play world and hearing what is ahead for her is not comforting. I am still happy I read this, as it gives me a primer on what to expect, and some ideas on how to handle it. The most striking take-away from this is how the game provided a platform for a Dad to learn more about his daughter. Simply knowing what is causing stress/sadness in your child's life is important, and many times we as parents are too involved with our lives and the practical running of the household to stop and ask how are kids are "feeling" and what scares them or gives them worry. Didn't expect to get parenting advice from HN today (or ever considering how many 20 something hackers hang here), but happy I did.
