Moms are key to the mental stability and resilience of many families.
It is not easy being a Mom. The data shows the stress levels are some of the highest, mental health management is key and support services are unsurprisingly very low.
Further, research and common sense tells us a Mom’s mental health is vital for the family. A mentally healthy Mom is a key factor in raising resilient, happy and productive kids.
What may not be as well known is as many as 2/3rds of Mom’s are also gamers and data has shown gaming can help Mom’s stay resilient themselves and that keeps us all happier and healthier.
There are a lot of stereotypes of what kind of games Mom’s enjoy. I have included an article that provides some suggested cozy and brainy games to play with Mom.
However, when Mom’s are surveyed they are also found to love a good action game. So, today seems like a great day to reach out to your Mom and see if she is up for a little Sudoku or if she feels like blasting her way through a horde of alien zombies.
To all Mom’s, thank you! You make our worlds go round and often without enough understanding or praise. Happy Mother’s Day.
