Never before has it been so difficult for families to stay connected.
It is ironic that the same devices that connect us to the outside world are making us oblivious to our immediate surroundings, and we easily fail to lock eyes with our loved ones.
The rapid decline in family values and traditions that should root children and create a safe space of loving care and discipline is causing an alarming rise in feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and serious depression among the youth.
While most parents are aware of this, few have the know-how to address this threat effectively.
These aspects inspired the creation of a proudly South African board game, Treasuretime. It is a real-life, reward-based game that encourages families to spend more quality time with one another.
Tokens are earned for good behaviour, achievements and helping around the house. Action cards (rewards, like going for a milkshake) can be redeemed with tokens at an opportune time. Families get to identify and understand each other’s real needs and love languages, while encouraging positive behaviour.
