Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From New York

Our Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults Help Teens Academically

Academics are 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 New York 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 Programs for Troubled Young Adults for New York Teens

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

Resources

Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults Resource: Microsoft Family

At our residential program for young adults, we focus on instilling the desire to live a structured life in your child.  Below is a resource to help your child develop structure, but without the intrinsic motivation to change, your setting up limits alone may only go so far.

Microsoft Family: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12413/microsoft-account-what-is-family

Microsoft family is just one of the many benefits of having a Microsoft account. It™s a free service that helps families stay connected, and keep kids safer on Windows 10 and Xbox One devices, along with Android devices running Microsoft Launcher. You™ll find settings like activity reporting, screen time limits, location sharing, and content restrictions on account.microsoft.com/family, where you can also track kids™ spending and add money to their Microsoft accounts.

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:
