Kids, Teens & Video-Computer Games

The impact of Computer and Video Games on children has been devastating. Unfortunately many of our students have become addicted to these games. The desire to play these games has ignited the switch for Impulse Control Disorders. Educational psychologists are hired by the manufactures of these games to create a "Mind Control" atmosphere that can impede and or devastate a child's development. They include the following;

1. Children/Teens have a constant preoccupation with game use.

2. Children/Teens may become overweight

3. Game creates a need for instant gratification

4. There is a fantasy violence component that is created against women, children, and the less fortunate

5. Virtual reality becomes reality.

6. Constant use may create sleep deprivation

With the help of parents, prevention educators, schools, and the community at large we can start to take back our children's minds. We need to debrief our children, as they can continue their journey and become more productive citizens.

We hope to provide you with a better understanding of gaming addiction.
