Pokémon Go in KC
Love it or hate it, Pokémon Go is one of the things everyone has been talking about this summer. While there is some thought that kids don’t need any more encouragement to spend time on their devices, the overwhelming majority of Kansas City parents give the app a thumbs up. From spending more time together as a family (without arguing!) and to getting more exercise, parents see the app as providing several positives for their kids.
