Today’s U.K. Mail<\/a> online reported that there has been a spike in fights recently at Chuck E. Cheese<\/a> restaurants. Now I will admit that it has been a few years since I was in a Chuck E. Cheese–my youngest child turns 39 this year–but I don’t remember fights being part of the entertainment.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The elements within the environment can stimulate aggressive<\/a>, impulsive behaviors,’ Dr. Dean Leav, told HLN<\/a>. Not to be underestimated, Leav said, is the indulgence of alcohol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Situations that involve a group of excited people and alcohol can often lead to acts of violence. A classic example is the fights that frequently break out during baseball games,’ she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Chuck E. Cheese hasn’t always been a place where fights routinely happen. According to the company, in its more than 35 years, there has been a relatively small amount of violence.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2012, 99.99% of approximately 65 million guest visits at Chuck E. Cheese\u2019s occurred without incident and resulted in smiles,\u201d the company said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leay said that witnessing these types of incidents can be harmful to children long-term.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Many adults have poor impulse control<\/a>,’ he said. \u201cThey frequently fail to consider the consequences of their actions even when kids are present.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last statement above is a bit scary–if adults have poor impulse control, how can they teach their children to have good impulse control.<\/p>\n

No one is a perfect parent–they don’t exist, but there are many resources available to help parents<\/a> with their own impulse control and to help parents become better parents to their children. Chuck E. Cheese should be a place to have fun–fights are totally out of order.<\/p>\n

Just a note–as I said–I’m past the Chuck E. Cheese stage, but when I retired, my boss allowed me to have my retirement<\/a> party at Dave & Busters<\/a>. I told him I was retiring–I wasn’t dead–and wanted to have fun. That was a wonderful way to retire!<\/p>\n
