Gambling and gaming addictions in adolescence

[ Griffiths, Mark. “Gambling and gaming addictions in adolescence”. 2004. Vol. 13. Camberwell, Vic: ACER Press. Page: 2-4.]

This book discussed the practitioner an understanding of why children and adolescents may come to play smartphone/video games to excess and includes knowledge about the risk factors involved in this. Why do children and adolescents addict in the Internet/games much easier than adults? What roles do parents act in child’s addict behavior? This book includes practical and common-sense interventions that may be beneficial for both children and adolescents and also gives sensible advice to give to parents facing their children’s behavioral addiction. I found it in my language school reading books and honestly, situation it shows are more serious than my imagine, whatever little sides like smartphone/gaming/Internet addiction or larger deals such as alcoholic/gambling/drugs addiction, families always be the most important role in children’s life, who also have responsibility to curb their child’s addictions.
