COURSE BRIEF

Internet Gaming Disorder, excessive social media use and the convergence of gambling in online gaming is a real problem with adolescence and youth in Singapore, impacting them at an alarming rate. Some kids with ADHD and developmental issues like autism and other moderate to severe psychiatric problems are at risk of losing control of their online use. Even kids as young as 4 have easy access to the internet. Some parents or guardians have not used much focus to regulate their child’s internet use when it comes to gaming, social media and other non-academic activities. While the internet has revolutionised the world and has given many benefits to humanity, it also comes with its dangerous downside when not appropriately regulated.
