She was an ardent reader but don't want to do anything else now. If I stop her, she gets very restless. Is she addicted? How do I help her? She gets angry with me when I take away the laptop or ask her to stop. She hasn't really snapped at me yet, but I don't think that day is far.<div id="poll-widget"><div data-type="in_view" class="tracking_pixel "><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/25581306.cms" alt="1x1 polls"/></div><div class="ge4Md " style="overflow:hidden;transition:height 0.3s ease;min-height:209px"><div data-type="in_view" class="loadable-inview "><div><span class="UzraQ null"><span class="aQKeu loadeblecomponentloader"></span></span></div></div></div></div><br/><span class="strong" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)">Response by Dr. Rachana Awatramani, Counseling Psychologist: </span>Playing online games is one of the increasing interests of <!-- -->children<!-- --> these days, It does enhance thinking skills and help with motor skills in children. However, anything too much is harmful. Similarly, online games can have its own pros and cons. <br/>Growing up children do love playing different online games and might also get addicted to it, if you see its impact on their daily activities or other symptoms such as, thinking about the games all the time, needing to play games to feel good, neglecting school work and other responsibilities, have no sense of time while playing, lying to play more. then yes it might be an addiction. At times children play to avoid real life problems as well.<br/><br/><div class="mgid_second_mrec_parent"><div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-90373905" class="wdt-taboola" data-target_type="mix" data-mode="thumbnails-mid" data-placement="Mid Article Thumbnails 1" data-pagetype="article" style="max-height:415px;overflow:hidden" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div>Monitoring children while playing these games becomes extremely challenging for the <!-- -->parents<!-- -->. I can see you are also facing a similar situation. I get how you feel about your child playing games online most of the time, which also has impacted her reading skills. You also mentioned that she gets restless when she is not playing and demands for her laptop. I would like to tell you that your worry is real about her getting angry at you and may be behaving rudely in future for the same, if not taken care at this stage. <div class="mgid_country_osv_parent"><div id="ad_6e9c4-osv-mrec-90373905" class="adInv undefined" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div><br/>There are few things that you can do here, for helping her and also yourself in this situation. I will start with you first, as parents understand that it comes in your job duties to be training her and making her with lots of patience to make her understand her responsibilities, as she is young don't expect her to behave like an responsible adult. She will demand and not necessarily you always fulfill her demands. Also be aware she will make her decisions and you can only teach her to make healthy choices and be responsible for the consequences that follow after that.<br/><br/>With her you can start with talking about the pros and cons of online gaming, you can speak about the online securities and the impact it would have on her, if she only focuses on the screen. You can mutually decide the gaming schedule, which will be helpful in the long run. Furthemore, you can set consequences, and make her aware of them as well, so she knows she has to face them.<br/>Finally, initiate other activities with her, such as going out, playing on the ground, art and craft, etc which will additionally help in bonding with her. You can also consult an expert for further guidance. <br/></div></div><div class="authorComment"><div class=""><div class="ge4Md " style="min-height:75px"><div data-type="in_view"

My daughter is addicted to online games, so much that she finds excuses to sit with her laptop at every instance. She was an ardent reader but don't want to do anything else now. If I stop her, she gets very restless. Is she addicted? How do I help her? She gets angry with me when I take away the laptop or ask her to stop. She hasn't really snapped at me yet, but I don't think that day is far. Response by Dr. Rachana Awatramani, Counseling Psychologist: Playing online games is one of the increasing interests of children these days, It does enhance thinking skills and help with motor skills in children. However, anything too much is harmful. Similarly, online games can have its own pros and cons. Growing up children do love playing different online games and might also get addicted to it, if you see its impact on their daily activities or other symptoms such as, thinking about the games all the time, needing to play games to feel good, neglecting school work and other responsibilities, have no sense of time while playing, lying to play more. then yes it might be an addiction. At times children play to avoid real life problems as well. 89706416Monitoring children while playing these games becomes extremely challenging for the parents. I can see you are also facing a similar situation. I get how you feel about your child playing games online most of the time, which also has impacted her reading skills. You also mentioned that she gets restless when she is not playing and demands for her laptop. I would like to tell you that your worry is real about her getting angry at you and may be behaving rudely in future for the same, if not taken care at this stage. There are few things that you can do here, for helping her and also yourself in this situation. I will start with you first, as parents understand that it comes in your job duties to be training her and making her with lots of patience to make her understand her responsibilities, as she is young don't expect her to behave like an responsible adult. She will demand and not necessarily you always fulfill her demands. Also be aware she will make her decisions and you can only teach her to make healthy choices and be responsible for the consequences that follow after that. 88856845With her you can start with talking about the pros and cons of online gaming, you can speak about the online securities and the impact it would have on her, if she only focuses on the screen. You can mutually decide the gaming schedule, which will be helpful in the long run. Furthemore, you can set consequences, and make her aware of them as well, so she knows she has to face them.Finally, initiate other activities with her, such as going out, playing on the ground, art and craft, etc which will additionally help in bonding with her.
