how to stop kids being addict from online games

My very first thought was to put a shorter leash on your kid. But really, as a parent you are responsible for the things your kids have acces to, If they are skipping school then hand diliver them to the principal. As for their forgetting meals: be a parent! As a Parent you have the right to take the games away. Sure you will have to then interact with your child but I'm thinking that that was why you had kids in the first place. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but I have way to many friends who are parents that forget that the kid is not in charge. Please remind your friends that they are in charge, and it is ok to make the children mind. Just take the computer away, or limit the time.

Children will be children. They have been born in the age of the internet, which means of course they will be addicted to the internet, just like I am and always was. :) You really should though make them eat there meals, and tell them you'll unconnect the internet connection unless they do so. They have to go to school, so make them deal with it. Or no internet. Make sure children aren't on the computer all day. Give them a specific time allotted to go on the computer from Monday-Friday, and then a different time on the weekends. All the best!

I was one of those children back when I was in my teens. The only way that works is to cut off their allowance. If my mom had done that with me back in the day, I wouldn't have spent all my money playing CounterStrike in Internet shops. :P
