how to break teenage video game addiction

[ericchappell]

They are so into social media and gaming.. Can't even imagine what we supposed to do to stop them. But the only thing is clear that we have to find them another addiction. Maybe less harmful than video games.

To spend more time with them. Maybe first you should play games with them and after that you can show them something brand new.

slowly add the dependent person to other things. for example, nature, tabiaat. or sports. If you do not put something more healthy instead of what you are dependent on, it is very difficult to remove it. it makes a lot more sense to confront and explain the facts of life.

Make him/her work. Working is the best medicine from any addiction. You have no free time - you have no time for stupid things

Work is a pretty stupid thing if it doesn't bring you joy.

I do not see anything wrong with video games. Let the child play better in DotA, than will drink alcohol and use drugs in the street.
Addiction on video games is the result of a huge amount of free time. With age, it will pass, when there will be additional things and goals.

I still have massive amounts of free time. Games just aren't really the same anymore. I quite miss playing MMOs that were catering to real hardcore nerds instead of pandering to babies.

One of the best solution for video game addiction is stay away from it and look for something to do like a new hobby. Going out from your room and meeting with friends or simply doing  outdoor activities are also good solutions.

Games such as dota, dota2, csgo and much more caused the teenager addiction nowdays. How to prevent this things happen to our teenagers.

It is a part of being a teenager you cannot prevent it because we all know we have experience on that also by time where in a teenager we want to play also video games and it is a part of a developmental of a human cycle.

to explore them in nature and environment resources, and to realize them the reality of life.
because games is like a virtual life.

Give them activity beside gaming, like doing home work like gardening, wash a cloth, clean out the room. Tell them playing game too long is wasting time, so better do any work for productive like take a short course for their lesson. Many kind to help them from addicted, gaming is not bad but if they can manage their time to do anything good would be better.

In each country there is for sure a national program for addiction and i think that would help, at least they can give you some direction because, since we are talking about addiction it is a serious thing and it is in need of a specialist. Wish you all the best.

That's not how (real) addictions work. You can't just stay away from them.

I think we should encourage teenagers to take part various sports activities. If they become busy in playing various games like football, cricket, tennis and badminton, they would stay away from video games.
