Abstract

This study examines the topic of digital game addiction and children. The study addresses the effects of digital games on children, addiction symptoms, and the impact of addiction on children's social, academic, and psychological development. According to the results of the research, symptoms of digital game addiction include excessive time spent playing games, loss of control, preoccupation with games, developing tolerance, neglecting social and academic responsibilities, and experiencing physical health problems such as sleep disorders and eye strain. Digital game addiction can negatively impact children's social skills, academic performance, and psychological well-being, thus reducing their quality of life. Therefore, it is recommended for parents and teachers to limit children's use of digital games and encourage them to engage in other activities. Parents and teachers should monitor children's use of digital games, recognize addiction symptoms, and take necessary precautions.
