          A Call for Parental, Educational, and Government Action



               The  addiction  to  video  games  is  becoming  notorious  in  pupils.  This  problem  has  gone

               worldwide. There are several causes including no parental limitation, viral trend games,

               advertisements and beyond.




               The significant and intense gaming designs are often highly engaging, offer endless game


               levels,  reward  and  curious  stories  which  makes  it  almost  impossible  for  kids  to  quit.

               Moreover, the addiction is spreading globally across multiple devices and platforms, such

               as websites, phones, tablets and consoles, making it easier to access and play.




               Some parents are at their work all day, leaving their kids home all day. Without care and

               supervision, kids will use devices and play video games non-stop. Another cause can be

               outdoor  safety.  There  are  many  construction  going  on  and  some  dangerous  people

               wandering around, which reduces children’s physical activity outside. Ultimately, it leads

               to children watching TV, play games for entertainment and fun. With kids staying indoors


               all day, they are beginning to depend on digital surfaces permanently.
