Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From Illinois
Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults for Illinois Teens
Illinois families seek our video game rehab center because of our unique ability to adapt to the academic curriculum for Illinois campers. Our video game addiction rehab helps gamers develop the internal drive and motivation to focus on academics- not the latest video game.
Lack of self-regulation is the common denominator that affects a student’s preoccupation with video games and lack of focus on everything else: school, friends, chores, reading, and so on. At Camp Pocono Trails, developing self-regulation skills is what we do.
Using a harm reduction approach, Camp Pocono Trails campers become enlightened as to the habit-forming qualities of video games and social media, in addition to how exposure to different types of online media can change your perceptions of violence or gender roles.
Its easy to get locked into a pattern of policing electronics. The problem with a policing strategy is that it does nothing to help the child learn how to manage electronic use independently. If your child is headed to college or independent living soon without the ability to manage their screen activity, you should intervene as soon as possible.
Sometimes it’s just easier for a team of seasoned professionals to address an issue that has become toxic for a parent to address. Parents and teens can become deadlocked in a disagreement about video game or internet use. This is where Camp Pocono Trails can help. We give the teen a format to reinvent themselves in a nonjudgmental, supportive atmosphere with other former gamers.
Our Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults Helps Teens Academically
Academics is a major focus of our residential program for young adults. Imagine if your child was able to devote the same mental energy it took to become good at their favorite game on a subject in school like math or science. At Camp Pocono Trails, we can turn this around. Sometimes it takes an environmental change and an opportunity to walk the path of success to see happiness achieved through hard work, not idle time playing.
Our specialized curriculum will ensure your child gets back on track academically as we create successful, corrective academic opportunities for your child. The Illinois school system may have failed your child, but our focused academic program will help your student get back on track.
Now is the time to intervene with a residential program for young adults if your teen is falling behind. 53% of college campers say video games caused them to put off doing academic work. One study which examined adolescent video game play found that campers who played video games spent 30% less time reading. The same study found that kids who play video games during the week spent 34% less time doing homework.

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: ESBR Ratings
At our residential program for young adults we discuss how to determine if a video game is appropriate. One way is to learn about ESBR ratings. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is the non-profit, self-regulatory body that assigns ratings for video games and apps so parents can make informed choices. The ESRB rating system encompasses guidance about age-appropriateness, content, and interactive elements.
As part of its self-regulatory role for the video game industry, the ESRB also enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and helps ensure responsible web and mobile privacy practices under its Privacy Certified program. ESRB was established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Setting up Controls on Your Apple Computer and Phone

As a parent, you want your kids to have a safe and happy experience on the Mac. Using Parental Controls preferences, you can manage, monitor, and control the time your kids spend on the Mac, the websites they visit, and the people they chat with. After you set restrictions for a child using a Mac, you can manage parental controls from a different Mac. Both computers must be on the same network.
