how to break teenage video game addiction

[SamboNZ]

one of the best way to break that addiction is to introduce some sports or any activities not related to video games, or some of activities that they like playing in video games.

I think this is the best way. But not all children get addicted to sport, it depends on their surrounding. If all their friends play video games why would they choose sport instead? Maybe we can show on our example how sport can influence on individuals, and in particular on young people.

i agree with you, we just need them to be into sports by accompanying them to play different sports. maybe some of them would not want to play baskeball but maybe they like some other sports, right ?

Doing Positive Things at Leisure Time
As much as possible take your time to do other activities besides playing online games. Expand positive activities you can do such as joking with family, sports, writing blogs, playing music, and so forth. make yourself as busy as possible with your new hobby so you do not have a chance to think about playing the onlline games again.

Mix with Others
Interacting with others is very important to humans. therefore, start outdoors do not confine yourself in the room, call soon your friends to gather together discuss positive activities .

perhaps the best option for parents is to enjoy simple things by themselves and then children from childhood will see how much joy around, and not just in the virtual world...after all, children go there because their reality is not interesting

Give them advices about the effect of addiction with video game. They can play video game just to fill their free time after they finish their homework or task.
As parents please don't force your kid with your will, but just tell them your experience about life. What is the better to their life, but remember not obtrude to them. You can make a bond/ tight relationship and embrace them as a friend, not like a leader.
Stoping the addiction of video game its comes to our effort and will, so there is no people can't force it. So just lead our children to do the best to their life.

I think something like youth camp can help. Spending time with friends is much butter than playing games.

You need to spend more time with your child. If he plays a lot in the video games, it means that he is not interested in his friends, or his parents. Maybe he just does not have friends, and only virtual ones treat them well.

It is not an easy tasks, parents even get harder times to control their kids in being addicted, I guess it takes a lot of understanding and counseling.

Even though i love to play games, I never knew that video game addiction is a big deal at all. The WHO recently stated that video game addiction is soon going to be labeled as a mental disease. Since it mostly too late for most addicted gamers at the moment, I think we have the responsibility of making sure that our children don't go through the same thing as well.

Better games than drugs and alcohol, don't you think?

[Cloak1]

It's easy. Just destroy them.
If you have destroyed them, ask them to know educative games. There are many educative games we can give to our teenagers.
Or we can give some activities that take most of their time,  so they forget to play video game.

[salamyman]

Destroy? Is this Equilibrium or what?
Why not destroy tobacco, drugs, alcohol - things that do real harm - not video games.
We're free to choose the things we like.

[Mustanzid]

Keep them busy in other activities.Learn to socialize with others.Games are better than drugs and alcohol, don't you think?

It should start from childhood parents should be strict and only allow limited time for the children to use gadgets and the internet. This way they will know that they are only alloted a certain amount of time to play. They will develop this habit and they will know that they can only use their gadgets after doing their assignments or homework.

I dont have kids yet but if they are really hooked on video games, I think I would have to encourage them to turn it into a source of income for them from the popularity of streaming. I hope I can get them to feel some accomplishment from earning their own games and things. Yes of course physical activity is not to be ignored and I would make them finish their other obligations first.

Giving them another healthy habits to play with they will stop addiction.

We need to find an alternative for the child. Invite him to do something else. More interesting for him. You can give it in a group,  like soccer or basketball. That he spent more time in the fresh air.
