Other Details
Parental Guidance
Please note, this class will highlight to students how much of their lives they are wasting on gaming and the harmful effects this has on their minds, bodies and relationships. Some students can find the realization that they have a video game addiction problem profoundly distressing.
After this class, please ensure that you speak to your child about what we have covered and be prepared to offer the support they will need to overcome their addiction. You may wish to approach local counselling services to find out what professional support is available to you.
At the request of previous parents and students I have created a follow up support class where students who have decided to overcome their addiction can check in, gain support from me and from their fellow gamers and work together to come through this experience.
Please be aware that addiction is a problem, whether it is video games, drugs, alcohol or any other addictive behaviour. If your child identifies that they have a problem during this class please seek professional help immediately.
