Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Dependency 了解电动游戏、电动游戏玩家和电动游戏依赖

With the increase accessibility of mobile devices, parents increasingly need to manage your 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 technology isolation. On the other hand excessive gaming can be a very real issue for some gamers.

For this Parents Webinar, we seek to equip parents with frameworks to help parents better understand games, gamers and 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.

For this webinar, we have an invited speaker from the Centre for Fathering, Alsen Chanamuto, 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.

随着手机的普遍，父母越来越需要关注孩子玩电动游戏。随着电动游戏的发展，它已经成为我们生活的一部分。如果完全禁止您的孩子和青少年玩电动游戏将意味着社交和科技隔离，但不受约束的玩电动游戏会对孩子有不良的影响。

本次家长网络研讨会，我们会为家长提供框架，以帮助家长更好地了解游戏、游戏玩家和游戏依赖。通过更好地了解游戏和孩子的游戏动机，家长可以改进沟通方式而从中改善亲子关系。从青少年大脑发育的理解出发，我们将探讨各种沟通技巧。

这次的研讨会，我们很荣幸的邀请到好爸爸中心的学校参与经理 Alsen Chanamuto 为特别讲员。身为教育者和喜爱电动游戏的父亲，Alsen会探讨父亲们在孩子电动游戏行为和成长过程中所扮演的重要角色。

这家长网络研讨会由 COMEBACK 创始人 Pauline Phoon 主持。COMEBACK 心理学家 Nicholas Gabriel Lim 和 Poh Xing Yong 将会分享他们的见解和建议。
