Sometimes, when very bad things happen to people, the feelings and changes in how they behave can be passed on to their children and even their grandchildren. This can happen while a baby is still growing before they are born, or through living in a family with someone who went through something really bad. There are big groups of people who all felt a big, bad event together, like the Holocaust where many Jewish people were hurt, or schools in Canada that were not kind to Indigenous children, or the time when black people were made to be slaves. The pain from these times can affect even people who were not there. For example, if a Jewish family today still feels scared or acts like they need to be very careful because of what happened in the Holocaust so many years ago, it's like the fear is passed on even though they did not live through it themselves. Bad things that happen can touch whole groups of people or just one family. Even if only one person in a family had something really bad happen to them, it could still change the way they act with their children and how those children feel.

In a role-playing video game, you pretend to be a character on an adventure. You control what your character does in a special world. Your character can get better by getting points. The points help your character to develop and become stronger. The game is a bit like games played on a table. In those games, people tell stories and pretend their characters are in the story. You can have one character or a group of them, which is a party. To win the game, you have to finish tasks or the story. As you play, you solve problems and fight against enemies. What is fun about these games is watching your character grow up and get better. Also, you can choose what your character is like. These video games have a lot of story and places in them. They are split into many small tasks. You tell your character what to do and they do it. How well they do it depends on numbers that show how strong or smart they are. These numbers get better when your character goes up a level. Levels go up when you get enough points. These games don't need you to move quickly but some, where action is important, might.
