The Red and Blue Card Game – helping parents and children By Alex Sher Local Orangeville woman and business owner, Cindy Williams is helping parents and children around the world build lasting relationships steeped in respect, personal accountability and healthy challenges. An impossible task? Williams once thought so also, but that was before she created the Red Card Blue Card Game. Parents are well aware of the struggles parenthood presents on a daily basis with regards to disciple, following through on threats of punishment, the challenges surrounding bribes, backing down, giving in, and never teaching children there are consequences for their actions. These challenges have produced an entire generation of young people who live consequence free, and seem to be lacking the “care” factor involved in accountability, simply not caring. The Red Card Blue Card Game works on the very innovative premise of consequence and choice but with a twist allowing parents and children to take charge. This game is nothing like stickers on a board, and then rebuilding the number of stickers that were taken away during bad behaviour and re-building with good. “I needed to do something to get my son to listen. This game really helped me with following through on house rules I had established and helped my son to understand there are always consequences both good and not so good to every action and decision he makes. Having him select the card really taught him the power of unexpected results, the consequences of his decision,” explained Williams. Simply place the Red Cards and Blue Cards face down and prepare to change your life and your child’s concept of a consequence free existence. Following an action your child picks one of the cards, turns it over and finds out what consequence awaits their action. Because children are the ones who choose the card, parental blame instead falls squarely on the child. Sounds a lot like life? That’s because Williams designed it that way, ensuring accountability and handling of surprises that go along with life. Important to note before parents begin, is to have a look through all the cards removing whichever card does not apply to personal life situations. Williams does caution the game also teaches parents they must be committed and follow- through on a daily basis is key to the success of the game. Williams reports the benefits of the Red Card Blue Card Game will be very evident throughout the teenage years of children who begin the game at a young age.
