Win a subscription to ‘YOU VS THE WORLD’… plus an iPad mini!
New computer game You vs the World allows parents to teach their children how to face life’s challenges; from alcohol and drugs to bullying and health issues, through a series of fun games, and here at Little Stuff, we’re giving one lucky parent the chance to win the game, with an iPad Mini to play it on!
You vs. The World, priced just £4.99, offers a complete parent and child package, whereby the parent has access to a dashboard to set up and monitor the games, whilst the child can have fun playing them.
With comic book graphics and fun characters, the game encourages children to think strategically and make positive choices, shaping their views on health and wellbeing.
The game’s creator, Aaron Gibson comments, “All parents worry about the dangers their children will face in the big bad world, and naturally want to protect them, so it’s essential kids are fully equipped with the knowledge they need. You vs. The World is a new game-based way of teaching important lessons to help them navigate the challenges of growing up, whilst also having fun playing the games. Using a simple traffic light system, the parent can set the parameters of the game, selecting age-appropriate material, and monitor their child’s progress. This provides peace of mind about their child’s awareness of these issues, and also creates a forum for discussions about specific challenges as they arise.”
Designed with input from psychologists and teachers, the game is aimed at children aged ten and upwards, with the questions tailored for age groups 10 to12, 13 to 15 and 16 to18 which can be selected to suit.
To be in with a chance to win not only a subscription to You Vs The World, but also a nifty iPad mini to play it on, please answer the first three questions in the Rafflecopter box below. You will then be able to generate more entries by completing the other, optional, entry methods. The closing date for this competition is 4th April 2014 and only entries received on or before that date can be included. The 1st prize winner will be the first randomly selected entry. Good luck!

6 March 2014
Worries :- Quality of life. Previous generations used to say they wished Health, Wealth and Happiness for their children. They have life, I would love it most if they enjoyed that life. There seems to be so much pressure, competition, greed, self-centredness and selfishness. Yet the authorities advertised that everyone should reach their potential. For that to happen there needs to be Opportunities available to all. Rather than the wide gap between rich and poor.
There seems to be a great amount of sadness, concern / anxiety and ill health. This may be due to the lack of Opportunities. The amount of pressure, Competition etc. There is little sense of Community or cohesiveness. Maybe we need to accept people for who and what we are, as it takes all types and a variety of skills etc to build a Community.
6 March 2014
the list is endless, but my main worry is their safety, everything else can be dealt with.

6 March 2014
The biggest worry for me with my children’s future is being safe from crime when they’re out alone or with friends. We live in a society where people think that you don’t need to work to earn the nice things in life, you just take them from others. It’s a difficult situation, you want your child to have a mobile phone with them so they can contact you in an emergency or in case of an accident, but by them having one it makes them vulnerable. A child walking alone is an easy target to a gang and I know personally of a teenager who has had two mobile phones stolen from him while out with his friends. Luckily he was unharmed. Internet, alcohol, drugs, sex, you can educate your child about all of those things and keep a watchful eye on them and guide them if they start to go down a wrong route, but you can’t be in control of crime. It happens, unfortunately, and I just hope that it never happens to my children.
6 March 2014

I worry about my kids doing the things my mum worried about me growing up. Bullying, underage sex, alcohol, drugs, peer pressure, violence, crime, dirty old men etc etc…..but I turned out all right. Worrying constantly gave my mum grey hair but we survived. As much as I would love to cotton wool my kids I know they have to experience the world. I have to teach them that as long as they are vigilant, respectful, trustworthy and honest they should be ok. Now my mum didn’t have to worry about the internet, mobile phones, facebook, twitter and instagram but allowing my kids to use them and showing them how to use them safely is better than forbidding them…we all know what happens when you tell your kids they can’t do something lol :)

bullies :-(
25 March 2014
I have 2 grown up girls and thankfully they are doing well for themselves now, I also have a 7yr old and she is so innocent, kind and caring and is wanting her freedom to play out with her friends as the nights get lighter, but is already beginning to experience how cruel some other children can be and it upsets her alot. This worries me the most as she withdraws into herself for a day or 2 :-( Apart from worrying about accidents etc when she is out of my sight!

31 March 2014
I worry about them being bullied, and not being able to make it all better for them.

I worry about children not learning to respect others and to listen. I worry about them being moulded into to little consumers from such a young age.
1 April 2014
I worry about bullying. It doesn’t matter how well I bring my children up, you can’t protect them 100% of the time and I worry about that.
1 April 2014
Drugs, loss of morality, unappreciative…these are some of the things I worry about
1 April 2014
I worry they get bully from people due to them being miniorty in school
1 April 2014
I worry that they can not enjoy there childhood like I did as they don’t have the freedom and every thing is so expensive and too much pressure to have the in thing !
1 April 2014
there are so many worries that I have for my son, I think these can be amplified as he is an only child so I worry about him getting in with the wrong crowd of people. Drug is always an issue as I think they are in everyday life now. driving and even being able to find a job once he leaves school are also a concern
1 April 2014
i worry about so much for my daughter.. i worry about bullying, going to secondary school and meeting in with the wrong crowd, drugs, smoking and alcohol, i even worry when she asks to go to the shop by herself are there are too many dangerous people out there way more than i knew about as a kid. I worry about her not excelling at school subject and that may affect her later in life
1 April 2014

I have two chidlren who have been bullied.. one was so bad we changed her school.. against all advice from teachers and health workers.

Im so proud of her, she didnt let the bullies win,and even now on facebook when someone starts she just blocks them.
Thsi game is a fantastic idea. soemtimes children cant say what they are feeling cause they dont want to upet parents or siblings. They have to feel they arent alone
1 April 2014
DRUGS….. They are everywhere
1 April 2014
Growing up can be nasty for little ones. In school there is always someone bolder and brasher but if you talk to your children they will always open up to you.
1 April 2014
I worried about her being happy, and making friends. Not that I didn’t worry about safety, but I felt that by talking about it, we could reduce the risks. She’s made it to 24, so she’s done okay.
1 April 2014
I worry about lots of issues regarding my two little ones…. bullying, internet safety, drugs to mention a few!!
1 April 2014
I worry about everything now I have a little girl. Drugs, teenage pregnancy etc. I guess all I can do is give her the correct information. x
1 April 2014
I worry that only the wealthy can afford to send their children to university and my kids will miss out as a result.

1 April 2014
A world that is short of food, water, energy, except for those with money.
1 April 2014
My own children are now grown-up with families of their own but I still worry about them especially as they live so far away. I can’t help worrying about my 6 grandchildren now. Such a different world to the one I their parents and I grew up in :)
1 April 2014
Health, income, security, these are my top 3 worries !!
1 April 2014
Health, Security, Education, Income, Healthy Food and Water for all
1 April 2014
Quality and cost of education.
1 April 2014
It would be quicker and easier to say what I don’t worry about. The main thing, I think, is just keeping them safe.
1 April 2014
To be honest, despite the news filling us with horror stories, for the most part, I don’t worry about much for my four, there is no point. All I can do is educate my children to hopefully make the right choices, and hope they come to me if they do have a problem. Housing is a concern, as even I don’t own my own home, its so hard for todays young adult to get on the housing ladder, so hoping that one day this changes for them. xxx
1 April 2014
I worry about the world of work and how they’ll cope with it.
1 April 2014
Definitely buying a property. House prices are yet again booming in price, so much so that first time buyers will find it tough. It’s a very worrying time for me and my brood!
1 April 2014
I worry about everything, from bullying to peer pressure etc. But as long as they can come and talk openly and not have to worry about what to say hopefully any troubles that arise can be nipped in the butt.

1 April 2014
Drugs there are so many that they can get hold off so easily.

Internet safety and cyber-bullying

1 April 2014
The changing world in general …

on my wish list
1 April 2014
I worry about everything! especially getting involved with the wrong people and going down the wrong path I just hope she manages to keep out of trouble and make something of herself.
1 April 2014

I worry about all of it!! I’ve just found out today that my job’s going to be taken over by volunteers – if things carry on like that is my daughter even going to get a job when she leaves school/uni?! Am I even going to be able to give her the education she deserves now? I’m certainly not going to be in a position to help her onto the housing ladder. All the things we took for granted that we could help our children with are being taken away from us and we have no power to change it. And don’t even get me started on the drink, smoking etc!!! I guess the good thing is noone will be able to afford them any more!
2 April 2014
I worry about the trouble on the streets, they might get in too.
2 April 2014

Mine are adults now but I still worry about them.
2 April 2014

2 April 2014
That’s a hard one, I think you’ve just got to raise them the best you can, and talk about risks then hope you’ve taught them well enough to be safe, but I think I worry most about things they have no control over, jobs, education, the environment etc.
2 April 2014
Mine are aged 11 and 13 and I worry about them being bullied on-line. All seems OK in the real world – I guess I just can’t see the virtual one.

3 April 2014
Yes worry about them on the internet
3 April 2014
I worry about everything, but, i would say my main worry is for their futures. coming from a small town with not many opportunities isn’t the best of starts. i grew up in a v small village and now i’m older it’s obvious i had no-one successful to look up to or aspire to be. i would love them to go to uni but i worry they will be clueless about what they would want to do or be just as i was.

3 April 2014
I worry most about my kids getting in with a bad crowd
3 April 2014
The state of the society they will be living in in general
3 April 2014
my son has ASD so i worry most he gets the foundation in school to be confident contributing member of society and will be able to live independently
3 April 2014
Internet safety
3 April 2014
I worry about cost of living and how difficult it is for young people to set themselves up with a home and a career and a good school and healthcare when needed. I also worry that I am not going to be in as much of a financial situation than I would like in order to be able to give my children the boost in life financially that may well be the difference between struggling to living comfortably.
3 April 2014
Definately rising costs of tuition fees, and general fees (food, petrol, gas etc) How on earth will my children ever afford to leave home
3 April 2014
Bullying of all sorts.
3 April 2014
I worry about crime and violence.
3 April 2014
most things but more so bullying
3 April 2014
All that you mention, but I suppose internet security comes top
3 April 2014
All of this really, the most about warming climate and pollution. it’s so sad we can’t take care of our planet and that lots of people doesn’t even care :/
3 April 2014
Internet safety and the quality of life coming up for them :/
Its hard enough now
3 April 2014
I myself worry about the cost of university.
3 April 2014
That’s a hard question, there is so much to worry about! Lack of financial stability has to be a big one though, few jobs, lack of opportunities to buy their home or become financially independent.
3 April 2014
I worry about drugs, I lost a brother to a drug addiction and its always on my mind
3 April 2014
Well, I most worry about my eldest son, because he’s autistic and I worry whether he will able to live an independent life. We don’t own our own home and I also worry about money in the future due to debts, no pension etc and how on earth we’ll be able to help our kids out financially later on!
3 April 2014
I worry about lots, but at the moment it’s bullying and social media, as they seem to be very much linked.
3 April 2014
I worry about the internet and keeping them safe online. They are already so much more comfortable with technology than I am.
3 April 2014
I worry about all these things for my niece.
4 April 2014
I worry about peer pressure and how it’s harder to be an individual and stand out from the crowd thank it was when I was growing up.
4 April 2014
ooh, lots! Mainly what the world is becoming, the way society is changing – I am so scared for my kids, and their kids. I worry about how safe or unsafe it is outside the comfort of our front door. But I’ve even started to worry about our safety indoors too, following a series of break-ins in our local area.
4 April 2014
I worry about other peoples children bullying mine, and when those parents are told about it, it could never be their child doing it, frustrating much!
4 April 2014
The dishonesty and lack of responsiblity of some members of society bothers me greatly.
4 April 2014
Internet safety worries me
4 April 2014
I worry about her hurting herself, all the time!
4 April 2014
Drugs and violence, which seem to be ever present in the newspapers at the moment.
4 April 2014
I worry about them getting the right friends & staying away from people who are a bad influence. Mine are growing up in Central London so its a bit scary with a lot of things.
4 April 2014
I try not to worry too much. My Grandad always springs to mind with one of his favourite sayings ..it’s better to be an optimist rather than a pessimist, it may not change the outcome but you will feel better about it! The primary niggle that will not go away is housing affordability in towns and villages where children are growing up they will be totally priced out of the market to buy a house. Your looking at 8x average salary to get on the property ladder now ????
4 April 2014
I worry about lots of things , mainly at the moment the safety of my boys when out on their own ,hope they are safe from gangs and street violence
4 April 2014
My boys are only 4 and 1 but when they’re older I think i’ll worry most about when they are out on their own. You hear so many bad stories nowadays! :-(
4 April 2014
I have five children and two Grandchildren my worry is what will the future hold for them. Getting a good education and having good morals will help but your hear so many horror stories nowadays that I cant help but wonder if they will stay on the right path and do well for themselves.
4 April 2014
Safety on the internet, bullying, being too easily influenced as they get nearer to their teams, especially where drugs is concerned, plenty more too.
4 April 2014
I’m not too ocncerned over internet security and social media the children have been well versed in safety. They will find their own way in life (with our support) so I’m not concerned abut the future, I’m more concerned about how they cope until their mid twenties with the ever rising pressure they are put under, pressure to conform, pressure to acheive exam results, pressure to hit targets at school, it’s endless pressure these days and no real time left to still be a child.
4 April 2014
I try not to worry but no doubt this will come…..!!!
4 April 2014
Great giveaway.
4 April 2014
Internet Safety is quite worrying.
4 April 2014
General safety with so much crime in this world.
4 April 2014
My worry is not if they can do course work and degrees – which I feel they can – but how to finance it. I had a grant when I went to university, but nowadays money is needed
4 April 2014
I worry mostly about their financial future. Jobs are hard to come by, plenty of them around but employers are getting picky. Having a degree counts for nothing anymore and that bothers me. Where is the motivation to study hard for a good job?
4 April 2014
I think worrying is part of being a parent and every age has its different things to worry about. The 13 and 12 year old’s are just finding their independence and I worry about them going out with their friends for long periods but it is easier these days with mobile phones. My eldest is 22 with kids of her own but I worry that her and her partner will never find a job.
4 April 2014
If worry was an Olympic sport, my mantle shelf would be groaning under the weight of gold medals.
I do worry about the influence of peer pressure a lot.
4 April 2014
To be honest I worry that the children are far too insulated from the real world. When I was young, which wasn’t exactly an eon ago, I think we had more scope to explore and find our way than now. Many children nowadays seem very naïve to the ways of the world and I’m not talking you children I mean 15 and up.
4 April 2014
I worry about everything! There is so little responsibility from other parents now that many are out of control. No one seems to have any respect for anybody else anymore, it is such a shame.
Thank you for running this competition.
4 April 2014

4 April 2014
i worry about the strange people of the world and everything that brings
4 April 2014
I know how my parent must have felt when I was young now having 2 children of my own aged 5 and 2. I used to stay out without my parents knowing where I was and thought nothing of it. Now I worry about the time they are old enough to go out by themselves especially being girls. You do have better communication these days with mobiles but it still puts the fear of god in me. I don’t know whether the world is a more dangerous place these days or because we have more media coverage and access to things
4 April 2014
General safety the way the world is at the moment x
4 April 2014
Living where I do do I would say gangs and being lured into crime

As a parent and foster carer I am constantly worrying about my birth and foster children. I generally foster teenagers who are very vulnerable and am very pleased I have entered this competition just to find out about the game itself!! Brilliant piece of kit,there are so many ways to educate teenagers but something like this done on an ipad that you can monitor is perfect and would make a great birthday present. Safeguarding children and young adults is a must for every mum/carer.
4 April 2014
I have too many concerns to list but the internet invites dangers straight to children, whether its bullying,predators and pornography and with so many kids having mobile phones with access to the internet its increasingly harder for parents to monitor and manage what they being exposed too.

I know the world isn’t as bad as the papers would have you believe but my 11 year old daughter is fast growing up and wants independence, as a dad, that scares me! I worry about what they do on the internet, how they are doing at school all sorts but the truth is, they will be just fine, just like I was and my parents and their parents before them. Right now I am working every hour god sends so I can give them a holiday this year, I’ll worry about the rest after!

4 April 2014
I worry about how fast they are forced to grow up, social media and peer pressure seems to want them to be 18 before they are finished primary school! I would like them to be able to keep their innocence for as long as possible but feel most of the time outside forces are doing the opposite.

4 April 2014
I live in north London and have 16 and 17 year old daughters who fortunately are not interested in drugs or alcohol and have a good moral values, yet despite this have already had a lot of problems with verbally and physically aggressive youths, and some oversexualised boys who have hounded and terrorised my daughters because they are pretty and take advantage of the fact that I am a single mum with no man at home, so I have had threaten them with the police and getting their parents involved to get them to leave my daughters alone. I am so scared for their safety but at the same time cannot wrap them up in cotton wool so can only hope that their good sense and my advice helps keep them safe :(

4 April 2014
I worry about the media portraying stupid celebrities as successful who in fact just have rich parents or have been lucky in finding fame.

I worry if they will follow the traditions of the family and respect their elders?
