This Parents Webinar is conducted in English with Mandarin simultaneous translation. This means that participants can choose English or Mandarin for their audio on Zoom.
With the increased accessibility of mobile devices, parents increasingly need to manage their children’s gaming. Games are here to stay and will be part of our lives. Complete embargo of games for your child and youth will mean social and technological isolation. On the other hand, excessive gaming can be a very real issue for some gamers. Yet, game dependency, or some termed gaming addiction, is rarely on the clinical radar as a cause or contributor to educational or behavioural difficulties for which psychological services were being sought as compared to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, insomnia, and mood deregulation.
For this Parents Webinar, we seek to equip parents with frameworks to help parents better understand games, gamers, and game dependency. With a better understanding of games and your child’s gaming motivations, parent-child communication and relationship can be improved. Developed from the understanding of a youth’s brain development, various communication strategies will be examined.
For this webinar, we have an invited speaker, Alsen Chanamuto from the Centre for Fathering who will be sharing with us the importance of fathers, especially gaming fathers, and your impact and influence on your gaming children as a gaming father and educator himself.
The webinar is facilitated by Pauline Phoon, the Founder of COMEBACK, with COMEBACK Psychologists, Nicholas Gabriel Lim and Poh Xing Yong sharing their insights and recommendations.
