Online Game addicts=Worrying parents.

[Strongkored]

Children who are addicted to online games are usually because parents never give time limits for their children to access gadgets, parents are too busy and forget to interact with children, maybe parents have to start applying rules, give time limits for their children to access gadgets, change passwords wifi regularly so the child cannot freely access the internet, and also the child must be given other activities so that he can use up his energy so that playing online games is no longer the main focus, and also importantly parents must be spend time interacting with their children.

The other problem is that they don't even discipline them like having a punishment for not following the agreed upon time which is problematic if you don't start to do it when they are young which could make them into spoiled brats. Also, parents should be the ones who rules the household and they need to assert that so the children won't be breaking the rules without the worry that there is no consequences.

I also have a 12-year-old younger brother who is now addicted to the online game "Free Fire". Almost every day he plays non-stop, even forgetting to eat, and he often sleeps the most annoying night when he asks for money just to buy enough diamond items. great if it is not loved by his mother then he cries even I find it difficult to advise him because this has become a heavy addiction like a gambling addict.

So I also find it difficult to advise directly because I am also out of town to work but I know this when my mother told me about my sister who is addicted to online games.

And it cannot be denied that when viewing YouTube there is a lot of Free Fire content and for me this is damaging to small children who are in their infancy.

Gaming addiction is becoming the problem of almost every parents right now.
Since kids couldn't go out to play they are now focus on online games and easily being addicted to it.
The only solution that I could think of is to limit their online activities or their internet connection.
Don't spoil them too much show them who's incharge don't let them dictate you or get everything that they want with crying or having a tantrums.
If you couldn't handle them now think how bad it would be in the future when there is money involves in the things that they would be addicted?

Online games have now become a trend because most people are addicted to online games, from young children to old people, there are still those who play online games so you can't just force it because if you have become addicted it will be very hard to let go, it can only be with a few advice and also take it to a specialist psychologist what is said @YHOSIE is true it is a last resort if it does not work in any way.

So if online games can't make money for anything, their time will run out in vain, and don't even become better people than at online games.

@jawhead99 pro game skills are also good but sometimes this is difficult and most of them are addicted to fighting.

Hmmm, this is interesting.

Can I ask a question to you?

My question is, if any very old person, let's say your father asks you not to drive cars because it causes huge pollution, rather walk from home to office and that will help you maintain your good health, will you obey it?

Will you obey if your parents asked you not to wear today's modern jeans and wear the traditional ancient clothes because that shows your culture?

See, the thing is, the future generations will always continue to use technology, and no one can or has the right to stop them from doing it. Games are a different matter, but many parents complain that their kids are addicted to phone and internet, I would ask them why is using phone and internet bad? They are just utilizing the latest technology.

Regarding the problem gaming, I know many kids who are into it completely gaming 24/7, and the biggest reason why they are addicted is parents giving them games at the age of 5 or so instead of instilling the basic moral lessons and ethics, and make them learn how the world actually works first. Then introduce them to the latest technologies slowly and let them explore what they can do with it and guide them towards positiveness.

Let them play the games, but also reward them for taking breaks and doing chores. Like, hey, you didn't play any games or wasted time for 4 hours, so keep this 2 bucks. 50 cent for each hour.

It's never ever accepted to beat a child for any reason. That's such a gross way to raise one's child and removing a bad habit from them.

Parents nowadays were also too busy with social media or their online world activities, they should also limit themselves to be able to know what their children doing since online is too broad now that every activity like gambling is present. With proper control and bonding, they can discipline their child to stay away from gambling if they can introduce them to other activities with them having interactions or bonding that can grow their personalities or family relationship.

With online games we don't know how the time and data is getting consumed. When used with limitation, online gaming of some games are quite interesting and makes us have some fun with friends and relatives. Me with my cousins used to have one game everyday. Everyone used to participate, and we make fun and have good conversation. This way it is good, but if we start to spend time without limits then it will ruin our day and everything.

Taking away online gaming from children and adolescent in this present dispensation is like depriving a child from having the full taste of what life is at that very stage of life and growth. The best approach in cases like this is for the parents/guidian of of this children to adapt to the age by participating in the fun by this they can win their children's mind over and also help regulate the activity of the child.

What i mean in essence is that asking this children to stop playing online games at this point would limit the exposure of this children and also make them myopic about life's activities. For me playing this games with them will help give them sense of belonging thereby winning their trust and friendship with this parents can regulate hoe their wards play this games so the can create time for other activities including educational activity

Hi
You have to understand the fact that children have currently nothing to do with lockdown and more often than ever the parents should get involved with them, they should do family activities, experience nature, go to mountains or hiking. The only way the kids will leave the gaming addiction is when they find something fruitful. Plus now a days it's not just the kids. I do think you can advice them to :
• Find what the kids are passionate about, what are they good at, then channel all that energy there.
• If they want to continue gaming, send them to a course where they can take a peek into gaming industry, teach them coding, maybe they would be good in this professionally.
• you don't have to confront them about it, maybe turn off the wifi cable or something for the time being , cut some cords and when they are done with their frustration, spend time with them, ask them to bake with you, repair, make something, this is what we did as kids there were no video games. Take them out !
• Do not give them their personal computer or iPads before the age of 12, it's not only bad for their mental development but the addiction is harder to manage
• They will ofc cry and create a fuss , Get out of the room. They can't argue with someone who is not there. You don't have to always listen to their demands.
Trust me they will be thankful to you if you control it right now. Otherwise they will end up like most of the guys I know. 23-24, play games whole day, not studying, failing everything, no jobs , staying at their parents house, antisocial and barely get out.
It's not only bad for them socially but also mentally and physically. Well the parents definately know their kids better so everyone's approach should be different.

I have become a father as of lately during the highest pandemic period in March 2020 and me and my wife have never used our girl with the mobile or the tablet just to make her distract and stay calm.We also go out every afternoon when I come from my work as my wife doesn't work for the moment but she also goes walking with our girl during the morning/early afternoon.This way we want to keep our girl distant from the technology until at least 10-11 years old and then we can explain her the good and bad sides of technology.

The kid in the story needs distraction,a lot of outdoor activities,go to the beach or go to a swim pool if there is no beach where he is located.The more he can stay away from the games the better he can start reacting for good in this situation.

If that kids was my sibling my parents would say "you still living under parent house and you didnt listen to your parent says.. parent only want his son doing somthing good for future like learning . school . doing something productive or atleast just showing respect. and if he really didnt want to listen that kids should proof his parent he can do anything better than his parent advices.

[dunfida]

In todays era its really hard for you to get rid on dealing up with online games specially that we are almost exposed on online activity which means no matter how to do restrict those kids

but there are still ways that they can get involved with online games.This is already a common problem on todays society.Honestly, i do have the same problem as this
but the thing i do is to cut off any connection into his mobile or pc where  restricting MAC id  via router.There's no way he can make out some access but when
it is outside in the house and playing into those cafe's then there's no way on stopping it rather than on fetching him to school on exact time.

Don't spoil them and have an authority to whatever they are doing online, you need to have a strong position not to allow them to play free and do whatever they want online.

WIth this kind of practice you'll suppress the possibilities for them get to much enagagements, we don't know how influencial those addicted games.

It will reflect to them if you'll not take full responsiblities.

Yesterday there was a parent who complained to me, that includes my family too, he confided in me: his son is currently quite naughty as long as he is addicted to online games, doesn't want to eat, didn't want to take a shower, didn't want to sleep and didn't want to hear what his parents were saying, his mind was only playing, playing and playing online games.

What can I say, I honestly feel sorry to see them, against his son's stubborn behavior, honestly I can't say good advice for them other than 'hit' them, but that's not a good solution to say.

The only solution is to take the kid to an experienced psychologist and you need an expert opinion when dealing with kids. In the past few years online gaming is creating issues for kids as you see many are addicted to them and in the present age it is a problem for many family and many are puzzled on how to deal with these situations. Punishing the kids will not make any changes rather than creating hatred in them.

I grew up with computer games and also the old console games. My parents were giving me a rule that before playing, I should have done this and that. I'm obeying and following them because if I don't then there are no computer games for me. I think the parents have to implement strict rules that their child has to finish first doing a thing before allowing him to play his game. It won't be easy at the beginning but that's for sure going to resolve the problem if the kid doesn't want to eat or take shower due to the game. They just have to talk to the kid what will be the implications if he won't do it first.

[o48o]

Set rules, and if the rules aren't followed, no computer for a week. It's better to be strict, otherwise kids get confused because they have to set the rules and you have to play with their rules. Only thing they learn from that is that they will win if they are annoying enough.

Your rules can be very strict but they also need to be consistent and rewarding, otherwise they only backfire, create confusion, fear and anger with the kids.

On the other hand, it's covid. Your kids need some time on their computers to connect with their friends. Just keep time limits. If they don't work. Just take the console/computer/phone away.

[ShowOff]

Maybe this isn't just happening in the area where you live but may have become a common problem around the world. But in your case, the level of addiction of children to online games seem to have crossed the limit so that it interferes with their activities and even behavior.

Of course every game addiction will be very difficult to solve by most people and it requires a process and time with a gentle approach because it is still a child. I don't think you should use violence because that will cause the child to be mentally worse off than the verbal approach. Parents' involvement is needed to reduce children's playing time in online game, meaning that they should ask them to leave the game as often as possible to do other activities.

[Silberman]

I need a little bit of advice, what I have to tell others, this concerns children and parents, of course their children are involved in online game addiction.

Note: their child is not involved in money gambling or casinos, but they are involved in online gaming.
Example:


Just get to the point:

In the neighborhood where I live, there is currently a boom in online games for children and adolescents, this is the worst phenomenon that is being faced by many parents today, because they are still in school and their future is very long and bright, if this can't be prevented what the world of the next generation of children says, their brains are covered with online games.

Yesterday there was a parent who complained to me, that includes my family too, he confided in me: his son is currently quite naughty as long as he is addicted to online games, doesn't want to eat, didn't want to take a shower, didn't want to sleep and didn't want to hear what his parents were saying, his mind was only playing, playing and playing online games.

What can I say, I honestly feel sorry to see them, against his son's stubborn behavior, honestly I can't say good advice for them other than 'hit' them, but that's not a good solution to say.

So, I need a little advice to tell them the best way to make their children obey their parents.

Friends, do not hesitate to give a little advice to their parents, so that their children can change to leave addiction to online games and want to learn like other normal children who are not involved in online games.

any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

This is becoming very common and this mostly comes from the lack of attention parents give them and the fact that kids are given access to smartphones or computers way earlier than what happened with early generations, in my opinion they need to take the computer and smartphone away, after all it belongs to them not the kid, and if the kid wants to play then he needs to earn it, for example if the kid cleans his room then he can play for one hour, if they do this their addiction to online gaming or social media will diminish and become manageable once again.

I grew up with video games of all sorts, but I always knew when to stop. If I overdid it, I could always count on my parents to interfere and do the right thing. At that time it was to turn off my computer and force me to go outside to play with my friends or do my homework.

Some people are more prone to addictions than others, and if the situation is as dramatic as you say, that child has started going down a road the smells like serious trouble. His/her parents need to take a firm stance against such behavior. If talking doesn't help, limiting or taking away his gaming devices is what they should do. I was allowed to spend 1 hour on my computer playing video games during school days, and my parents made sure that was respected. I could not boss them around, and that is what that kid needs to learn as well.
