Solutions to Online Gaming Addiction

There are a few good ways to stop video game addiction but the Parent/Guardian and the child have
to work together because when parents force them from a kids point of view they will rebel against
parents/guardian and play more. Here are some things parents,kids, and following a system can do. This
is all ready made please click video game rating system for information about it.

First is things parents can do. Increase parental supervision!!! When your kids says he wants or is
getting a new game make sure there is a responsible adult with him/her and make sure to let the adult
know what your kid can buy. Next is parental control. The new systems like the ps3,xbox360,wii, and the
psp have parental control.In the links page there is a link for each system parental controls.

Last is set amount of time that your kid may play. Do not let them go over it (David Walsh). For the
weekends you should let them play at night as much as they want because they cant really do anything
out side.

Now here is what kids can do to shorten their time. This will only work if this is their free will. Do not
buy any new games. Play old games and burn out of the games so it loses its appeal. This way kids start
to play out side. the second things kids can do is Talk to a parent or responsible adult. Third is see how
much total time kids play a week then try to take a hour off each day. For example lets say you play 50
hours a week take of 7 hours one for each day and once you play 43 hours a week with out thinking
about it take down another and so on until you are at a good spot. Last is take away the temptation by
having your parents hold on to it or selling it. Its up to you how you do it.

Now for the laws. like i said please check the rating system page for that information but we need
stronger enforcement in stores. Specialty stores have sold games to kids who shouldn't be playing that
type of game. The law says that games that they shouldn't be playing can only be sold to them with a
parental supervision.
