Gaming and screen time is often at the forefront of a modern parent’s mind. Knowing the many opportunities that technology provides, it can be difficult to balance the benefits with some of the risks. Excessive gaming and screen time is a concern that offers simmers at the surface for many when kids are accessing their devices. For many Australian families, they face an ongoing struggle of getting children and teens off their devices. This session will help parents understand why some young people can find it hard to get off their games, and explore some of the psychological tricks that game developers use to maintain player engagement. We explore common questions that parents have about screen time, including why kids love watching other kids play games on YouTube. We look into the red flags that parents can look out for if children are having problems with excessive gaming, and discuss practical strategies for managing device use at home. We also touch on social media and cyber safety, and provide parents with additional resources to follow-up with after the session.
