| Abstract | Today's lifestyles, availability of technology drives children and adolescents to access more channels to communicate online with the outside world. There are also unlimited ways to find happiness and relaxation. Especially in the world of new lifestyles with continuous social changes. In this era, children and adolescents can easily access online games with just a smartphone, making the parents harder to limit or control their own online games. It is more difficult to limit or control overuse of online games among children and adolescents. Therefore, this is a very problematic situation for the children, the family and the people around them. This is not an individual problem but a long-term national problem. Addiction to online games among children and adolescents has a number of consequences, including problems of school, work, health, and relationship especially relationship with their families. The children and adolescents may be estranged from their parents because they spend most of their lives playing games for longer periods of time, resulting in less interaction with their family members or surrounding people. It also affects their mental and emotional states, such as irritability, tantrums, aggression and violent anger. This can be caused by dissatisfaction when games are not being played as intended or the results of games are not played as intended. Therefore, solutions to the problems require love, understanding and cooperation from parents or people closely in order to help them know how to properly play online games and to allocate time for their maximum benefits. |
