Video games and electronic devices can be used by parents to motivate their children to do well. Now that so many young people are centering their lives around video games, electronic devices and technology rather than developing athletic, artistic or musical talents, it seems more and more children and teens are acting as if they are addicted to their electronic devices. Developing true talents would be far better for them. The young person may come across like its far more important to play on the XBox 360 or the computer than to do their homework. Some parents solve the problem by putting the machines, videos and televisions away until the weekend, and then letting the child or adolescent play with only what they have earned as a reward for study, chores, good manners, and a positive attitude. Best wishes, Stephen S. Elliott, Ph.D., child and adolescent psychologist.
