Yes, this internet addiction. You should try to encourage him for taking interests in other social activities, watch computer use and set plain for limited internet time and talk to your son about causal issues. You can also choose some short term out door programs offered by the camps or you can go out side with him for few days.If you can not get time you can also take professional help for your son. Cognitive-behavioral therapy provide great boost in stopping extreme Internet use. Internet addiction support groups also offer help by counseling to stop compulsive internet addiction.

Yes. It is internet addiction. In order to take him out from the addiction you have to educate him that this habit has affected his health. Make a time-table for him and instruct him to follow the same. Ask her that internet surfing is not bad, but spending all the time for it is bad. Do an affirmative discussion with him and assign some short term goals for him so, that he keeps himself busy in some other activities also. Parents should also spend some time with the children. Consultation with the therapist is also helpful.

Yes, according to the conditions of your child it has become clear that he is fighting with internet addiction and he needs proper treatment and supervision in order to come out of it completely. You can also follow some of the tips in order to help him to recover such as do not provide him internet and computer facilities, put him to 24 hour monitored services as well as try to make him realize about the importance of education in his life. If possible then send him to some of the boarding schools or residential treatment centers so that he will be prevented from using internet which will take him out of his addiction as soon as possible.

For teenagers, spending too much time online can really harm social and educational development. Some teenagers feel that they can be more free and open in how they express themselves and may worry less about rejection since they can’t see or be seen by the other person. You should limit the amount of hours your son spends on the computer. Encouraging the child to take up other pastimes or hobbies can in most cases turn their attention away from the computer.

Yes, it might be the addiction of internet. You should try to make him understand that lots of use of surfing net can be the cause of several other problems too. You can admit him in boot programs which are useful to give a better shape to the career of its members. Parents should give their children some more time.
