Media use: accompanying children
When children spend a lot of time playing video games, it can be worrisome for parents. But not all excessive gaming automatically means addiction. In this videocast, Dr. Isabel Brandhorst explained which factors can prevent it and what parents should know about the diagnosis of "computer game addiction." Leonie Lutz explained how parents can prepare their children for media use from an early age. She is co-author of the book "Begleiten statt verbieten" (Accompany instead of forbid) and provides countless tips and tricks for the use of digital media in the family.
