The amount of time devoted to an
online platform use must be limited by parents
exclusively. Moreover, parents should provide their
children with occupation alternatives like chances
to communicate with their friends or new interests
like driving lessons. They should impose such limits
despite claims that young people communicate
through the internet. Young users should also be
urged to relax their eyes after every 20 minutes of
computer use. This measure may also discourage
them from constant focus on their computer that
may alienate them from the real world. A short
break after 30 minutes of internet action is simple
yet substantial way to fight against addiction.
Parents ought however to remove the computer
from the child’s access space, should any other
tactic fail. The removal must be of long duration as
a harsh yet unavoidable measure (Griffiths &
Meredith, 2009).
