Thank you and have a great week ahead! <h2>Parenting Challenge Workshop: Communicating &amp; Engaging Gaming Youths at Home through Role Play</h2>This 2-hour workshop is a follow-up to our Parents Webinar: Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Addiction. During the Webinar, communication strategies and theories on games and gamers were introduced. The application of the strategies and theories in a real-life family situation is not easy. Role play is a good tool to help contextualize the strategies and theories for home situations and deepen the adoption of strategies by reenacting them in a safe environment. For example, role play is used to rehearse the diffusion of difficult situations to prevent confrontations that can jeopardise parent-child relationships. The group size for this session is limited to a maximum of 10 persons as it will be dynamic and interactive. Each session will be conducted onsite in person. COMEBACK psychologists will put out common scenarios in families and through role play to illustrate the application of the strategies and theories discussed.The sessions will be conducted by COMEBACK Psychologists Nicholas Gabriel Lim and Poh Xing Yong. Note: <ul><li>For those who have not attended our Parents Webinar, you are welcome to register but do bear in mind that we will not spend time explaining and going through the strategies and theories in detail due to time constraints. </li><li>Each session is similar in its framework, structure and objectives. </li><li>Please wear your masks throughout the workshop.</li><li>All sessions are in-person. There is NO online option.</li></ul><h3></h3><h3>EVENT DETAILS</h3>Dates: 28 May 2022 (Sat) Time: 10am - 12pm Venue: Heartbeat@Bedok Class Room 2Free Registration (U.P S$180/participant) We are very thankful for the support of Tencent for making this possible.

<h2>The 5th Edition of Parents Webinar: Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Dependency</h2>We are running the 5th edition of our Parents Webinar: Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Dependency this year! We are thankful for Tencent's support to be able to make this webinar free for all.For this Parents Webinar, we seek to equip parents with frameworks to help parents better understand games, gamers and game addiction, which we termed game dependency. With 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. We will also do a brief introduction to neurofeedback intervention that is noninvasive and non-medication-based, that can help programme the brain to achieve greater mastery over ineffective or dysfunctional behaviours, i.e. game dependency, poor relationships, etc.The speakers are Nicholas Gabriel Lim (Chief Psychologist, COMEBACK), Poh Xing Yong (Associate Psychologist, COMEBACK) and Ruth Lim (Esports Coach, SOOS OIO).DATE: 21 May 2922 (Sat)TIME: 10.30am - 1.30pmZoom webinarFree registrationFor more information about the webinar and speakers, go to the event page <a href="https://uggg5.eventbrite.sg">https://uggg5.eventbrite.sg</a>

We encourage parents whose children are already playing these games to form a team with their child and participate. The rules of TeleMatch are designed to create a safe environment for teams and players. Parents can use the TeleMatch rules to inculcate good gaming habits. There will be an online Zoom briefing a few days before TeleMatch so that parents and teams know what to expect.TeleTrip Festival is a hybrid event.
