VietNamNet Bridge – The Vietnam Institute for Vietnamese
Martial Arts and Sports Research and Development is the first one in Vietnam
which has successfully weaned off games addictions for children of school age.
Pham Quang Long, Chair of the
institute, said his institute recently received a lot of children brought there
by their parents who ask to help the children detoxify from games addictions.
There’s a common characteristic
of all the children that they are all from well-off families, where parents are
too busy with their works and don’t have time to take care for children.
LTK is a boy from a family, where
his both mother and father are the high ranking executives of a big bank in Thai
Nguyen province. He was always an obedient student at primary and secondary
school.
The tremendous upheaval came to
LTK when his parents left for long term business trips, leaving the son with an
expensive Apple laptop. His parents did not have time to find out what their
son did in his free time.
Only when returning home and
seeing LTK dropping off next to the laptop after many hours of playing games,
did the parents realize what the boy spent his time. LTK had been playing games
all of his time, mostly violence games.
Online games changed LTK so
dramatically, turning him from an obedient into a indocile boy. He not only
spent his non-school hours on games, but he also played truant from school
lessons to go to public games shops.
He not only ignored the parents’
advices, but also dared to beat his father with a stick.
Long said his institute has
received the children from over 30 provinces and cities, from Cao Bang and Ha
Giang in the north, to Da Nang and Quang Ngai in the central region and HCM
City in the south.
The detoxification method applied
at the institute is practicing martial arts and playing sports, which has
brought positive effects.
“Once children spend time on
practicing martial arts and playing sports, they would have the chances to do
exercises, relax and communicate with friends,” Long explained.
“Playing sports would not only
help ease the addiction fit, but also help make everyone get stronger,” he
added.
In the past, the games addicts
refused to eat and did not sleep. But nowadays, with the reasonable mechanisms
in eating, sleeping and practicing exercises, they can to bed punctually and
have better lives.
Long said it would be easier to
treat children for games addictions, if the patients are brought to the
institute as soon as possible.
LTK has successfully said goodbye
to online games and he has realized how he was rude to the parents. K is now
studying at the boarding school in the institute and intensively preparing for
the entrance exams to the Hanoi Banking University next July.
Veteran games addicts sometimes
meet the problem in sleep disorder. It is because their brains have been overly
stimulated by the obsessive gaming, especially violence games.
The patients cannot sleep, have
nightmares regularly, and suffer from sleep apnea, which may lead to death.
Therefore, Long stressed that
practicing martial arts and playing Qu Gong are very important things to games
addicts, because they help patients regain equilibrium of mind, know how to
regulate their breathing to avoid dangerous phenomena as said above.
“Games addiction is as dangerous
as drug addiction. It can exhaust gamers spiritually and physically, which
causes a lot of family tragedies,” Long said.
