Abstract

Behavioral Addiction in Children

Tarek Hamed Attia

About fifty years ago, we were sharing a lot of playing entertainment with other children. We could communicate together, talk together, share ideas and at the same time enjoyed playing together. Our kids nowadays, play alone, think alone and spend a lot of time lonely. Addictive behavior is a condition characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding non-drug related behavior stimuli.
