Dealing With Teen Video Game Obsession

Numerous parents are worried about the amount of time that their kids are spending playing video games. It is simple to get engrossed in a video game and the competition to become one of the first amongst one’s peers to finish the quest is a big incentive. The difficulty can come when children start to abandon their regular healthy routines so that they can play games.

Going to school is like going to the office but with long term consequences. If you lose your position, you can find another one (in theory), but if you miss your education you can never actually get to where you should have been. Staying up very late or not doing homework to create more time for playing games is a serious error of judgment.

Children can become, well, to be frank, most children are deceptive and by the time they become teenagers they are usually fairly good at it. They have acquired enough social skills and enough about their parents to be able to deceive them quite easily.

This makes it more problematic for the parent who is attempting to find out whether their teenager has a difficulty with gaming addiction or gaming obsession. We all like to think that our children would not lie to us, yet we all know that they do.

Many doctors consider it is best to double figures given by a patient: how many pints of beer do you drink a week? Ten. Read twenty. How much chocolate do you eat a week? Eight ounces. Understand sixteen ounces. How many hours do you play video games a week? Thirty. Read sixty.

Do not forget that anything more than forty is a working week. They are throwing away a full-time wage to play games and all adults know how much the pattern of the day job governs the rest of their day. If your youngster is putting this much time into playing video games, something else must be suffering.

It is probably grades at the moment, but later it could be health or the acquisition of social skills, friends and contacts, all of which help someone to obtain a better career.

If you think that the child is spending too much time at the gaming console and you notice that grades or social life are falling off, then is the time to restrict gaming hours or it could become worse, leading to temper tantrums, which could be mild to severe.

If you think that it is not good for children to watch too much violence on TV because it can have an effect on their character, then remember that most video games involve intense violence, rapid responses and shooting to kill. This is quite an amount of hyperactivity for the brain when you compare it to listening to some Brahms or Bach or watching a Chekhov play.

If you think that your child has got the balance of input into its head out of kilter, then it is better to react sooner rather than later.

Friendly Fire: Singularity – Strategic Game Delays – Main Video (Gaming Debate Show) S02E26

It’s bad enough waiting for a new game to come out, but what if it’s being held just to have less competition? Is it better to space out deliveries or put the games out as soon as they are ready? That’s what Sark, Hutch, Chris and Matt look at in this week’s Friendly Fire.

YOUR CHOICES ARE:
Matt (Sarcastically in agreement)
Chris (They know what they’re doing)
Sark (Control my spending habits!)
Hutch (It makes sense)
