Cognitive behavioral therapy for Internet Addiction

summary

Since Internet addiction is caused by the formation and solidification of operational conditioning, the key of operational conditioning is reinforcement, that is, the combination of online operation and sweet reinforcement. Therefore, the way to eliminate Internet addiction is not to strengthen gradually, so that the Internet operation is gradually reduced, and it is easy to eradicate Internet addiction without combining with reinforcement. Next, I'll give you a brief introduction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for Internet Addiction

First, cognition. Responsible parents should always care for their children. If parents find that their children can't get up on time, are tired and often doze when eating or doing homework, or stop doing homework at home, their academic performance drops suddenly, they stay away from their friends, they lose all their hobbies, they behave out of line, and they don't listen to their parents' instructions, then they have signs of Internet addiction. Parents should not be too alarmed and can't take simple and rude methods to beat and scold their children. They should calmly reflect on their own education methods and take some reasonable and effective measures in time to help their children get out of Internet addiction and promote them to get rid of Internet addiction and make progress every day.

Second: system desensitization. Parents and Internet addicts negotiate with each other and work out a general plan to gradually reduce the time of surfing the Internet within two months, so as to achieve the goal of occasionally surfing the Internet or not. If you indulge in Internet cafes for more than 8 hours a day, it will be reduced to 6 hours in the first week, 4 hours in the second week, 3 hours in the third week and 2 hours in the fourth week. Internet addicts will be rewarded (with token system) if they can carry out the plan, that is, they will be given the appropriate token every week, which will be changed into cash at the end of the month.

Third: substitution therapy. Teenagers need a full spiritual life and entertainment. If children leave the online activities, they must have corresponding other activities to replace them. So if you don't let them surf the Internet, you have to find other hobbies to replace them. Such as swimming, playing ball games, accompanying children to climb mountains, traveling, etc. Parents should help their children find alternative activities.
