The ‘YouTube King’ PewDiePie released his new video, reacting to a Dr. Phil episode where the doctor had to deal with a teenage boy addicted to gaming. Seeing the episode, he remembered his childhood and shared an excellent parenting tip for dealing with kids and not developing an addiction to gaming while they can enjoy their video games.

Gaming has grown significantly in the past few years thanks to streaming, content creation, and eSports. This growth has also resulted in many kids pursuing streaming or eSports as their career plan and getting addicted to video games. It has started becoming a significant concern for many parents who don’t know how to deal with the hobby of gaming.

PewDiePie shared an excellent tip for dealing with video games

PewDiePie was shocked to see a kid who spent 17 hours a day playing video games in his latest video. Further, that kid stopped going to school and has an aggressive personality towards his parents when they disturb him during gaming. Pewds also noticed the parents are frustrated that their son doesn’t know how to deal with this addiction.

The 33-year-old YouTuber shared he relates to the kid in some manner. However, his parents didn’t allow him to play compared to the kid’s parents, who were not asking him not to play games at all.

PewDiePie further clarified why his parent prevented him from playing video games. He said, “They thought it was like making me not social. I guess they didn’t like it, but what they didn’t understand is that all my friends in class were playing games together online.”

Eventually, PewDiePie shared an excellent tip to prevent their kids from gaming addiction without stopping them from enjoying it. The YouTuber said, “I think just limiting it’s the way to go, just like if you do this, you get to play this amount of time, and then there’s no leverage on that time. You can spend it as you want, but once that time’s up, it’s up.” Undoubtedly, it’s solid advice from the creator.

The Youtuber says that gaming isn’t everything

The Swedish creator further stated that there is more to life than video games. It might not sound perfect for Pewds to say this, as he made his career by playing video games and making videos about it. However, he shared a crucial life lesson he learned as he grew older. The 34-year-old said, “Video games are not that important. You realize that when you get older.”
