Reading Jane McGonigal's article, we are presented with the argument that many people have preferred the virtual universe of games over reality, because the experience and expenses of the game are better than those of real life. To reinforce this argument, she shows that real life has been unsatisfactory in many ways and people have used games as an escapism, to participate in a world, where they feel satisfied and happy, where their needs are met. However, McGonigal says that this is something of concern, because it makes us close our eyes to real problems in humanity and uses the escapism of games to ignore them instead of solving them.
Rhetorical device are strategies used to make a speech or text more effective and persuasive.
Unfortunately, you didn't show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to show you the sentence in which the author presented a rhetorical appeal. However, I will show you how to recognize a rhetorical device.
The rhetorical devices are called pathos, logos, and ethos. To recognize them you will have to read the text and look for sentences that show the following characteristics:
- Ethos: Sentence that encourages ethics, morals, and good customs. These sentences can express concepts that are socially and politically correct.
- Pathos: Sentences that encourage sentimentality. They present concepts that appeal to people's emotions and leave them moved.
- Logos: Sentence that stimulates logic and causes readers or listeners to reinforce reasoning and reflection on logical concepts.

This is a very opinionated question, so I don't know how much I can help, but as the babysitter of four kids around this age- I would suggest telling Timothy that he can take a nap if he wants, but he still has to go to bed early- (8 or 9 or whatever.) he doesn't neccesarily have to sleep, but he does have to stay in bed quietly and not disturb his mother. (my family does the same thing, they're allowed to read or talk to each other quietly if they're the 2 that share a room.) Likewise if he doesn't take a nap and becomes grouchy, he could be "punished" by going to bed earlier, which may end up helping. Timothy might be agreeable to not taking a nap because you could frame it like him being a "big kid."
You could also just make it so his naps are shorter, and wake him up on your own instead of letting him sleep for a full 2-3 hours.
