Being a mom u must go to all limits u can. Children are of that character and mentality and are nosy too. But u must apply pressure to him. Maybe by hiding the device and telling that it is lost or complain him saing that he destroyed the computer and the computer is at software repair shop. Like this there are many other ways to overcome this situation

I were once a game addict in the computer back in high school and college. I even skip out lunch just to have some money to play games. Also we do some over nights not to sleep over, but to play games. I am really an addict back then.
What my parents do to control our computer addiction was to give us a set time everyday wherein we can play games in the computer. My sister was even the alarm clock setter to stop us from over using it. We usually fight over time with the computer use. I am glad I have already skipped that kind of addiction. As for your son, I suggest that you try to involve him to the outside world. Interest him in playing a sport, doing a hobby or going out with friends or the community. That is one way that I have stopped my addiction with computer games.

An addiction of computer games can overtake meals and take up nearly all of the young person's time. This sounds negative and rather worrying to me. I suggest having times in the day your son can do computer times like only 4 hours per day. He could have breakfast and have 2 hours in the morning, go out in the afternoon and have 2 hours in the evening. I believe that going out for a walk with him will give him healthy exercise. He may need to do school work and if so he should do this before he starts his computer games. I suggest talking to his about his future career plans. My older son is 16 years old. He has a laptop, an ex box and a play station. He likes ancient war games like Rome Total War. Luckily he is a very good student and will be getting his exam results later today. Good luck.

The only reason why he is actin like that is because you allow him too. It's OK to play computer games but there has to be limits. Too much is no longer good for the child. Being the parent, it is your responsibility to discipline him. If you don't want to be too harsh, try to limit the number of hours he's allowed to play and slowly shorten it so the transition is not noticeable.

I have kids too and they do the same thing when you told them to stop playing. You allow them to play for just an hour and yet when the time comes and you tell them to stop they start those tantrums and start crying. To a parent, it's hard to see your child crying for something that you can easily give but as a parent it is our duty that our kids grow up the right way and don't turn out like spoiled brats and that's for their own good. It may be hard at the start but we just have to remember that what we're doing is not for us but for their own good. They may not realize it yet but sooner when they grow up they will realize and be grateful for it.
