Parenting Guide: How to Help Your Child Break a Video Game Addiction

In this Parenting Guide, Greg Baer, M.D. will teach you how to help your child break a video game addiction, gaming disorder, and internet addiction.

In this video, I'm going to teach you:
1. The REAL reason your child is addicted to video games (and it's not what you think).
2. Why you can't seem to limit the time your child spends on the game console.
3. Why you see other behaviors associated with playing video games excessively—anger, isolation, avoidance of responsibilities at home and school, and more—and what you can do about them.
4. What you can do to ELIMINATE—not just manage—the game addiction. Really.
5. How you can replace game addiction and other difficult behaviors with genuine peace and happiness in your child.

Yep people love to address the symptom rather than the actual cause of the problem. The fact is that kids turn out exactly the way you raise them. It's your fault how they turn out. If you abuse them then they will become abusive. But if you love them without condition then they will reciprocate. Treat others the way YOU would like to be treated, especially your kids.

This addiction came into our kids when the lockdowns happened!
I still can’t make them get rid of it even after coming back from school they want to jump on it and it’s ROBLOX

I really need help. My only son who is 17 yrs old says he wants to become a doctor; but he can’t stop gaming. He doesn’t prioritise studies over gaming. Even during exams, he wants to play and when I tell him to understand his priorities, he says I am being unreasonable and says he enjoys gaming and can’t be without it. He only plays on the weekends, but looks forward to gaming again. If I let him, he would play endlessly and not study at all. He doesn’t care about his results and doesn’t realise that by the time he understands that gaming is detrimental to his progress, he would have missed the bus. I m tired of arguing with him and have a child who doesn’t understand that I only mean good.

This type of training is essential for todays day and age - too bad it’s so expensive - we’re living in times where the necessities are a challenge

The majority of the video is rambling over the same 2 points and a lot of it is way too nonspecific, but I'm gonna be honest, this is a really nice change of pace from the usual "The kid is lazy and misbehaved, just take the games away and punish them until they listen".

[georgechristoforou]

How do you know? Does it actually work? Okay, unconditional love is good. But that will not stop your children from being addicted to computer games.

My nephew is totally addicted to video games. Can't hold him back from the games with even love. Now he has failed in his exam and is shameless about it even. What to do?

[lubna]

That is true and great, BUT it takes a whole community movement or huge cooperation with everybody around and everything involved in our life and our children, starting from home and family members and not ending with school and the outside environment. I have tried many times to bring my children back to their natural habitat. I even traveled to another country to cause the change and spend more time with the. The fact is, it can't be done individually. There are a lot of factors and the most difficult is the financial one. Let's just face it. Thank you for the video though. It is definitely an eye opener for many parents.

Im a child and i understand what im doing with my life and my mom wants to help me but i can't stop.Im trying to stop myself and spend more time with her but i just can't because of the games.After this video ill apologise to my mom and dad that i havent seen in 1 and a half year and try to stopp this addiction.

To feel the unconditional love, they need to come out of that mindset. That’s the problem here. How to bring them out of the video game.

[jemilagulston]

My child was never a game addict until covid came. This is the worst but God can do anything. By the way all you said make sense cause when I shout at her she tells me control my anger issues but when I speak smoothly she complies.

[EnchantedRealm]

Does anyone have any advice on how to restrict gaming in a living way without it seeming like a punishment and techniques to help the child respond in a positive way to the restrictions??

[bruh]

I am a kid and I play An online mobile game after my classes for almost 1 hour and another half an hour in the evening after studies is that bad?

[Defianceo]

god damn this is the most realistic talk I have ever heard from someone that does not talk about how their child should be because of expectations.

[swatta-]

Tnx a lot sir.... That's a reason he or she has becoming adicted gaming that how much response to them having a good parrent to expectation a good child

[TessaJonker-fjrn]

What has happened with discipline? With tough love? With protecting your child from danger, bad habits, self destructive. Gaming to escape pain? Sorry. Impossible to agree. Sorry just impossible. I need to hear many testimonies from parents who have done this and succeeded. So far not one😢. I ll keep looking for those parents. 🤞🏿

[NYCsantiagoMusic]

If you’re so concerned why not just give the course away for free?

[ElJaxxes]
