How to compete with games for children’s attention
Thread Content
Mr. Liang Qichao once said in his essay \"On the Young China\": \"The responsibility of today lies not with others, but entirely with us, the youth.\" “If the youth are wise, the nation will be wise; if the youth are wealthy, the nation will be wealthy; if the youth are strong, the nation will be strong…” As the holiday mode begins, parents are very worried about how to compete with games for their children’s attention Following the French teenager’s appeal to Ma Huateng with the request to introduce WeChat to France, parents have also begun to turn to online game developers such as Ma Huateng for help, hoping to find a solution for them. While some older people may still not know what \"mobile games\" are, many elementary school students can name a long list of them. With online games being so popular these days, there is a huge difference in attitude toward games between children and parents. According to the 40th Statistical Report on the Development of the Internet in China, there are nearly 170 million youth internet users in China (under 19 years old), accounting for about 22.5% of the total number of internet users in the country. Teenagers in contemporary society are born into the online world, and as they become exposed to the internet, games exert a particularly strong appeal on them. And parents are very worried about this. Recently, Xinhua Daily Telegraph published an article titled “Children Ruined by Online Games.” The article was written by a father who recounted how, in high school, his son played \"CrossFire\" for 7 days and 7 nights straight, engaging in intense battles that pushed his body to the limits of what it could tolerate. “We all know that children should be kept away from games, away from a life of gaming. As a father, I have strived for 10 years; many parents face the same helplessness as me, also immersed in pain and distress. I ask video game developers to provide a solution for parents as well. ”He said. Relevant experts also have their own views on adolescents’ excessive addiction to online games. Wang Jian, an associate professor at the School of Education of Shanghai Normal University and a supervisor for master’s students, said that adolescents have not yet developed a value system, and they like to imitate adult behaviors in order to show that they have grown up. And some elements in the game can easily become targets for imitation by teenagers. “As an educator, I have always emphasized the importance of instilling a sense of ‘social responsibility’ in our education, in order to guide society and culture in the right direction ； Society also has an “educational responsibility” to work together to foster the growth of the next generation. ”Tu Guowen, a teacher at Zhejiang International Studies University, remarked that online games have become a trend that is unstoppable and sweeping across society. Jane McGonigal says “games change the world”; she believes that games have already changed the world. This change has a greater negative impact on teenagers; he suggests that games should be kept under control to some extent. Shen Shaochun, a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, called for cleaning up the online environment in order to create a safe barrier for the healthy growth of minors
To be honest, I don’t know either; I think **game-related apps should be regulated**. Many people, regardless of their age, are addicted to games outside of work or even while at work, and end up spending their entire lives achieving nothing.

We should moderately \"put games in a cage\" to prevent ruining generations of young people!
It’s just numerical statistics on the surface; what really needs to be done is to provide proper guidance and create a favorable environment, methods like these are far more important than such statistical figures that serve merely as slogans. The key is proper guidance.
Previously, when children went to internet cafes, their parents would rush to help them overcome their addiction to the internet; now, parents themselves spend their days on their phones, and there’s no one talking about parents needing to overcome an addiction to phones. Everything has two sides; it depends on how you guide it. It’s not necessarily a good thing when your child becomes addicted to games, or when some children become addicted to studying. There are reports online about a child who became addicted to studying; his grades improved, and his parents were happy, but doctors said it was a disease that needed to be treated. The final examination indicated that the child had some mental issues, and indeed it didn’t last long before the child became listless again.
Haha, that’s true too. Guidance is very important!
That’s right; not to mention children, adults can become addicted too.
Yes, yes, it should be given attention. Even adults can’t control it, let alone children. Lack of self-control.
