It started after I showed her &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;lightbot.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;lightbot.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; but we like the &amp;quot;screen-free&amp;quot; nature of dadbot better.&lt;p&gt;Eventually she jumps on my back and the game doesn&amp;#x27;t last much longer because dadbot gets tired.</text></comment>

Keep in mind that when you are playing with young children, it is the time you are spending together that is most important, so if they want to not follow the rules, make up new games, or just bang away on that xylophone, let them, and enjoy the time you have.</text></comment>
