Support

Children must talk to someone (an adult) if they start to think about gaming differently. In addition, if children become destructive, aggressive, threatening or violent when you try to enforce or set limits on their gaming, it might be helpful for you to talk to someone specialist for external support.

A recommendation is limiting video game usage to one hour per day. While it can be tempting to dramatically cut back your child’s access to games, or want to remove them from your home altogether, it might be more helpful to start off slowly.
