Parents should adhere to two basic principles when communicating with their children about game addiction: First, don't comment or blindly stop them. Don't casually comment on the child's love for games to avoid arousing the child's rebellious psychology, and don't rush to stop the child from playing games directly. When the child's interest in games weakens, guide the child to do other things. First, find interest or recognition from things that are not related to learning, and then return to learning; The second was to deal with both the symptoms and the relationship. When parent-child negotiations, they should be clear about their own bottom line, seek common ground while reserving differences, only talk about one thing at a time, do not bring up old scores, do not make unnecessary extension, maintain emotional stability and set an example, take turns to express with the child, listen to each other's explanation, and clearly define the reward and punishment index.

The treatment of internet addiction should follow the principles of science and humanity. Forced treatment is not recommended. From the perspective of treatment methods, Internet addiction treatment was a comprehensive and individual process. First, the patient's psychology and behavior must be evaluated to grasp the condition and treatment process. Psychotherapy, behavior therapy, medication, and other targeted treatments can be carried out. For example, meaningful alternative behaviors could be used in behavior therapy, such as social skills training, exercise therapy, music therapy, etc. Drug therapy needed to select appropriate drugs to relieve symptoms and help patients return to normal living conditions. At the same time, close cooperation between the patient and his family or friends was also very important. In history, there were methods like Yang Yongxin's electroshock therapy to forcefully treat internet addiction, which was inappropriate and would cause great physical and mental damage to the patient. Family therapy originated in the 1950s. It was an effective treatment model from the perspective of the family system. Its goal was to help the family eliminate abnormalities and morbid conditions in order to carry out healthy family functions. This method used the power of the family to change family members. It was of great significance to solve the psychological barriers of children and teenagers. It was more scientific and reasonable than compulsory treatment.

There were some institutions in the country that claimed to be able to help teenagers get rid of internet addiction, such as Neute Education, Escort Growth Education College, and Zhengmiao Qide behavior correction school. However, there were many disputes about the treatment of Internet addiction. From past cases, Yang Yongxin's rehabilitation center had used unscientific and inhuman methods to treat children, such as electric shocks. This not only did not really solve the problem of Internet addiction, but also caused serious physical and mental trauma to children. Moreover, there was currently no standardized definition of Internet addiction. Many children who were considered to have Internet addiction might just be normal play-lovers. The correct way to deal with them should be to use drugs and psychological guidance, rather than simply sending them to the so-called Internet addiction treatment center. At the same time, there were also organizations like the Shenkang Youth Mental Growth Center that claimed to specialize in solving psychological and behavior problems such as Internet addiction. However, on the whole, the problem of internet addiction among teenagers should be treated with caution. Parents should reflect on their own education methods and focus on the education of teenagers from an early age instead of relying solely on Internet addiction treatment centers.

There were some institutions mentioned in Shanghai that might be involved in youth education (including Internet addiction), such as Neute Education School, Escort Education, etc. These institutions were included in some rankings or recommendations related to youth education, but it was important to note that although they were mentioned, they should be carefully examined in terms of formality, education methods, teacher strength, and so on. In addition, there were also closed schools for rebellious children. For example, there were relevant institutions in the top ten closed schools for rebellious children in Shanghai's HOT list, including the formal rebellious network school, Yuming rebellious correction base, etc., but the rankings were not in order. These institutions claimed to have the advantages of formal training bases, strong teachers, quasi-military management, and scientific education methods, but parents had to carefully evaluate their choices.
