Moderation is the key, allow them to play it for a certain amount of time each day or every few days. You could give them some little jobs to do and collect stars then at the end of the week they get X amount of time playing video games. If you make it so that it isnt readily available but still there they will enjoy it and appreciate it without becoming addicted

very good comments, its very necessary to children to give them some functions in life even though they are in young ages, so they will come out to be good and that will be habitual to them when they grown up. thank you very much.

Also this is the next generation, when we were children things like this didnt really exist but everything is becoming "electronic" these days, children need to use these things to some extent to learn because eventually everything is going to become computerised and electronic. I wont be denying my daughter of thses things but she wont be using them all day everyday :)

It is all about rule of engagement. Involve the child in other extracurriculum activities like sports which will help in building them physically & mentality. Parents should play active role in their children upbringing because most children addicted to this games do so because of the pleasure they derived from them . Therefore parents should create a pleasant parent-child relationship so their children can derived more joy from them. Discipline ur child in love. Let them understand the good and negative influence of d game in their career pursuit. Educate them on time management. I believe these with many other contributions from my dear mylotters will help

very good response in addition parents are the number one who can give such extra work. Giving them extra activities may enhance their work at home. Give also extra attention to their children not always focus on their work. Thank you.
