How to deal with children's addiction to online games?

When children are addicted to online games, how should parents respond? This paper will provide parents with coping strategies from three aspects: reflection, making rules and cultivating interest.

Self-examination/introspection

When children are addicted to online games, parents should first reflect on what makes children so fascinated by games. Is it because we didn't give enough care and companionship? Don't stop it simply and rudely, which may make children more disgusted.

Establish/make rules

Parents can make a clear rule with their children, such as playing games for half an hour after finishing homework, or how long they can play by themselves at a fixed time every day. Let children participate in the formulation of rules and cultivate their self-management ability. Parents just need to do a good job of supervision.

Cultivate interest

In order to reduce children's investment in games, parents can help children explore and cultivate other hobbies. When children have real hobbies, they will naturally reduce their dependence on games.
