Safe Play Is it possible for my child to become addicted to games?
People play games because they enjoy them; and some people enjoy them more than others. A casual book reader will read books as part of their daily activities, and may well exercise or socialise as well. A person who absolutely loves books may be blinkered to everything else that goes on around them (the same goes for people who watch too many movies, or too much television). Playing video games is simply another daily activity that can give people pleasure. If they don’t enjoy the games, they won’t play them. If they do, they may play them occasionally, a lot or as much as possible. Playing computer and video games is not a physical addiction.
