Internet gaming, social media have often overtaken their concentration in their daily homework or routines, they became tense, sometimes aggressive, or depressed (suicidal) when parents tried to discipline or counsel them to do their school work. These sessions can help parents discuss their needs and difficulties encountered with their children, as these caused parents to experience negative emotions.
