Summer vacation, although a welcome relief for students, is ironically a worrying time for parents because they are afraid their children could become addicted to video games during the July-August holiday. The extraordinarily long time that students spend on video games is a danger to not only their health but also their quality of life.

In recent years, video games have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment for children and teens worldwide. They have also become a serious form of addiction for many children, a serious worrying factor for not only parents but also health and school authorities.
