I want to play a game!
Description
Book Introduction
Homework later, reading later! Greenie's true feelings are that he just wants to play games all day! “Greenie, are you playing games again?” Greenie’s house was noisy again today with the voices of his mom and dad scolding him. Greenie's mom and dad were worried that he would neglect his homework and focus solely on playing games, so they tried to scold him loudly and tried to calm him down by buying him his favorite jelly. But it was of no use to Greenie, who was completely absorbed in the fun of playing the game. Rather, the father who was trying to correct Greenie's gaming habits and even Mir who was not interested in games got addicted to games, and the mother got angry and ended up banning the whole family from playing games. Why does Greenie always want to play games? Why do mom and dad keep forbidding him from playing? Kim Young-jin, a leading South Korean father and author, shares his story about the "war with games" that our children and families have likely experienced at least once. The story captures the inner thoughts of children who want to play games on their smartphones and computers all the time, and the worried hearts of their parents who watch them, through vivid pictures and an interesting story. Read "I Want to Play Games!" and discuss the great plan to protect your children from gaming addiction with your family. It will be a precious time for parents to understand their children's hearts, for children to understand their parents' hearts, and for them to realize each other's sincerity. |

“Green, bring Mom’s phone!”
Greenie was secretly playing a game in the bathroom.
Dad scolded Greenie while he was watching TV.
"Green, are you really going to be like this? You're always playing games, not studying or reading!"
Greenie also liked reading books before he started playing games.
But books only become interesting after a while, but games were so much fun from the beginning.
--- p.4~5
Greenie was having fun playing the game without even knowing that his mom and dad were watching.
“You really can’t do it.
“Bring me the keyboard right now!”
My mom got angry and snatched the keyboard away from me.
The more I stopped Greenie, the more he wanted to play the game.
Greenie was jealous of his friends who had smartphones.
I wanted to play games to my heart's content anywhere.

Publisher's Review
Greenie, Dad, and the whole family are addicted to games?
If you can't avoid it, enjoy it healthily!
Greenie is addicted to playing games on his mom's smartphone and computer.
He had already broken his promise to his mother to do his homework first several times, and when no amount of coaxing or scolding would help, his father rolled up his sleeves and decided to break Greenie's gaming habit.
Instead of hiding and playing games secretly on my mom's phone, I brought a game console that I could play on the big screen of the television with my dad and brother.
My dad said, “If you do what you have to do and manage your time well, gaming is a good hobby.
“Let’s set a time in the future and do it,” he said, trying to appease Greenie.
But as we all played the fun game together, now Greenie, his dad, and even Mir started playing the game without realizing how much time had passed.
And eventually, the mother's order to ban games is issued.
Green, his dad, and Mir, who were lying in the room staring at the ceiling, couldn't stand the boredom and went to play soccer together.
And as you move your body, run out of breath, sweat and kick the ball, you find a completely different kind of enjoyment than playing a game with your fingers while sitting or lying still.
Author Kim Young-jin, who has told stories about his family and children, tells the story of 'games', something he has been pondering as a father for a long time.
The story of a house where there is not a single quiet day to appease a child who plays games, and where even the adults who scold the child become absorbed in the game, adds vividness and realism while conveying warm empathy and sincere support to the children.
Listening to each other's hearts and thinking together
Our children and families, who are growing one step further today, fighting!
When adults see a child addicted to a game, they try to stop the game before they can understand the child's feelings.
Sometimes you can distract them with food or objects they liked, sometimes you can just scold them, or you can take away their game console or cell phone.
But the book is talking.
When children and adults listen to each other and talk to each other, family problems can be resolved more easily and naturally than expected.
"I Want to Play Games!" tells children honestly why they love online games, told through a child's voice.
Books don't get fun until you start reading them and time passes, but games are fun from the moment you start reading them.
And that's not all? Adults occasionally praised me, but in the game, I was constantly receiving praise and gifts.
Even if I made a mistake again, I could just press the start button and start over as if nothing had happened.
The story goes on to tell the story of a father who tries to stop Green from playing games but ends up getting addicted to them as well, and a mother who scolds Green every time he plays games but actually used to enjoy and be good at them. It also tells the story of a mother and father who know better than anyone else the hearts of children who only want to play games, but who can only console and soothe them.
As you read the book, have an honest conversation with your children about games.
By listening to each other's positions and putting our heads together to solve problems, both children and adults will grow up before we know it.
This is the real story of our child and our family!
Korea's representative life fantasy picture book series, the 'Kim Young-jin Picture Book' series!
Kim Young-jin, the 'father writer' who is much loved for his stories about special moments in our children's ordinary daily lives, tells the story of 'games', a story that he has been pondering as a father for a long time.
Greenie, who hides anywhere in the house, whether it's under the bed in the room, next to the sofa in the living room, under the kitchen table, or even in the bathroom, and plays games to his heart's content, the way he scoops up a big spoonful of his favorite fruit jelly, and the way he quickly loses focus on his game even though he goes in to do his homework. This is a picture of our children, the lovable troublemakers who you can't hate no matter how much you try.
Also, the scene where Greenie becomes a character in the game and runs around happily completing missions, and the scene where he sneaks past the sofa where his mom and dad are sitting, as if it were a scene from a spy movie, show the author's unique imagination and loving gaze towards children.
Kim Young-jin's picture book series, "I Want to Play a Game!", tells the story of our children and our families from a father's perspective. It tells the honest inner thoughts of children who love games, providing readers with great fun and inspiration, and giving them time to think together.
