Beat in g  the  vid eo  ga mes ˗ˏˋ   If we don't learn our lesson, we will become one  ´ˎ˗   Although as the heading suggests, ''beating'' video games isn't such an easy task.

  Role of parents in Controlling Gaming addiction  Identify other recreational activities .   Replacing gaming with other activities is critical to changing excessive gaming behavior. Your child is gaming in large part because she finds it fun and it is something she is good at. Gaming can be done virtually any time, with little planning or effort. Because many devices are used for other activities, a game is just one click — and one second — away. When your child has little else to do, games are always there to fill the time. To help your child fill free time, actively promote participation in  other recreational activities . Consider  activities that you and other family members can do with your child . The replacement of activities should be on the days of the week and during the times of the day when your child most often plays video games.
