Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From Indiana

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults for Indiana Teens

Indiana families seek our video game rehab center because of our unique ability to adapt to the academic curriculum for Indiana 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.

It™s 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.  

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults Can Treat Depression Due to Screen Addiction

Research has consistently shown that all screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all non-screen activities are linked to more happiness. Now more than ever, residential programs for young adults are treating depression due to video game or screen addictions.  Eighth-graders who spend 10 or more hours a week on social media are 56 percent more likely to say they’re unhappy than those who devote less time to social media. Campers who spend six to nine hours a week on social media are still 47 percent more likely to say they are unhappy than those who use social media even less. 

Our residential program for screen addictions will help your teen learn healthy new routines- and we will help them transfer these skills back home by preparing them for success.  Socialization practice and time management are key components of the program. All Indiana campers who come to Camp Pocono Trails get the opportunity to learn and practice new ways of interacting and making friends.

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Smartphone and Tablet Resources

Kids are becoming increasingly tech-savvy these days.  It™s hard for us as parents to keep up. At our residential program for young adults we’ve heard it all – campers bypassing routers, logging on to friend™s routers next door, creating proxies, you name it and we’ve heard it!

Here are some resources specifically for smartphones and tablets.  These devices are especially problematic for parents because they are portable and you can™t just block them through your router if your child is connecting at school or a friend™s house:

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: ESBR Ratings

http://www.esrb.org/

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).
