As the world becomes increasingly digitized, it is no surprise that children spend more and more time in front of screens. Some experts have warned of the dangers of gaming addiction in young children, especially in light of the growing evidence linking excessive screen time to various health and developmental problems.
We all know that playing video games can be addictive. According to a recent study, children as young as eight years can develop a gaming addiction. The average age of a gaming addict is 24 years old and a report from 2020 states that between 64% to 66% of the general American population play video games to some extent. This is a serious problem, as it can lead to social isolation, poor performance in school, and even depression.
