Is your teen spending all their time glued to their gaming console or computer? On “Life Quakes,” hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest cybersecurity expert Daniel Hammond offers advice to a worried parent who is concerned about her kids online gaming habits.
Restrict Access
Limit how much time and when your teen can be online. Consider keeping devices out of bedrooms at night and using router controls for restrictions.
Communicate Openly
Talk to your teen! Explain your concerns and why you’re making changes. Discuss the importance of balancing screen time with real life.
Negotiate & Seek Help
Set expectations and tie online gaming to privileges. If you’re struggling to make changes on your own, seek out resources and support groups.
