About This Webinar
With the increase accessibility of mobile devices, parents increasingly need to manage your children’s gaming. Games are here to stay and will be part of our lives. Complete embargo of games for your child and youth will mean social and technology isolation. On the other hand excessive gaming can be a very real issue for some gamers.
For this Parents Webinar, we seek to equip parents with frameworks to help parents better understand games, gamers and game dependency. With better understanding of games and your child’s gaming motivations, parent-child communication and relationship can be improved. Developed from the understanding of a youth’s brain development, various communication strategies will be examined.
For this webinar, we have an invited speaker from the Centre for Fathering, Alsen Chanamuto, who will be sharing with us the importance of fathers, especially gaming fathers, and your impact and influence on your gaming children as a gaming father and educator himself.
The webinar is facilitated by Pauline Phoon the Founder of COMEBACK, with COMEBACK Psychologists, Nicholas Gabriel Lim and Poh Xing Yong sharing their insights and recommendations.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

关于网络研讨会
随着手机的普遍，父母越来越需要关注孩子玩电动游戏。随着电动游戏的发展，它已经成为我们生活的一部分。如果完全禁止您的孩子和青少年玩电动游戏将意味着社交和科技隔离，但不受约束的玩电动游戏会对孩子有不良的影响。
本次家长网络研讨会，我们会为家长提供框架，以帮助家长更好地了解游戏、游戏玩家和游戏依赖。通过更好地了解游戏和孩子的游戏动机，家长可以改进沟通方式而从中改善亲子关系。从青少年大脑发育的理解出发，我们将探讨各种沟通技巧。
这次的研讨会，我们很荣幸的邀请到好爸爸中心的学校参与经理 Alsen Chanamuto 为特别讲员。身为教育者和喜爱电动游戏的父亲，Alsen会探讨父亲们在孩子电动游戏行为和成长过程中所扮演的重要角色。
这家长网络研讨会由 COMEBACK 创始人 Pauline Phoon 主持。COMEBACK 心理学家 Nicholas Gabriel Lim 和 Poh Xing Yong 将会分享他们的见解和建议。
特别公告！
我们非常激动地宣布，将在即将举行的家长网络研讨会上推出 GGLife 家长版！

Pauline Phoon
COMEBACK Founder & CEO COMEBACK创办人暨执行长
Pauline noticed the societal and relational gaps that were being formed with the meteoric rise of gaming, and so she began to first plug those gaps with simple engagement activities for gamers.
As her understanding of the psychology of games and gamers deepened, she developed various training programmes which continued to expand over the years. Her programmes and events are continually being refined as she factors in the changing landscape of the gaming world.
Pauline is mindfully aware of the potential of the positive, as well as negative, benefits of gaming, and aims to maximize the former, while being fully cognisant of the latter.
Pauline 有感于社会大众在人际关系上因着游戏的蓬勃发展而造成隔阂，于是开始藉由提供游戏玩家一些简单互动性的活动去消弥这样的隔阂。
根据她对于游戏依赖的心理学理解，这些年下来她研发出了许多不同的训练课程，并且仍不断扩展中，她的课程与活动一直在 随着游戏世界的变化而在持续地精进中。
Pauline 非常关注也很清楚游戏所具有的正面与负面效益可能性，不仅致力于将前者放大到极致，同时也认知到后者的存在。

Parents’ Feedback
Review of the Parents Webinar from past attendees
Angela Ng
Parents Webinar 25 May 2024
The webinar is well executed and the strategies are insightful. It is interesting to know that the pre-frontal cortex fully mature at 21-24 years old so they may look mature but actually not. It really takes a whole village to nurture and educate a child.
Tabitha
Parents Webinar 21 May 2022
Greatest takeaway will be Nic’s session where I now fully understand the reasons why talking and giving advice to the youngsters nowadays often fell to deaf ears where their foolish acts will be repeatedly seen when their neurological development and functions are not fully matured enough to learn from their mistakes. Thank you for the inspiring session where all the speakers have delivered the topics very clearly and well which is easily digestible for us parents and I hope there will be more sessions like this which I can recommend to my friends as well. Though 3 hours may seem long but attending the session itself is actually short, considering there are so much to learn from.
Jane Kee
Parents Webinar 26 May 2021
I really liked that the session started off with setting the audience’s perception about online games and gamers. It was an awakening moment for me to learn that video games are not wrong and even beneficial for development. I use to think that online gaming is not recommended for young children considering the possibility of being exposed to inappropriate content; and the effect on health and socio development etc. Next comes the section on child’s brain development – it may seem technical but understanding the science behind how our children respond to situation helps parents to reframe their perception on behaviours and hence being able to recalibrate our own responses to help our developing children create the right neuro pathways into their adolescent years and early adulthood.
Great tips and realistic examples were also given to illustrate the learnings throughout.
Thumbs up to the team!

Parents Webinar 21 Nov 2020
The whole session was so informative and engaging that we were glued to the Zoom session for the entire 3+ hour session. At first I thought it was another boring talk. The format was superb with the honest sharing of past young gamers, an almost clinical look at the the issue and a moderator for the session. Our teenaged kids even watched part of it when they saw their familiar games being mentioned and opened the doors for some conversation. The panelists answered ALL questions, which was really useful for cross-sharing. My biggest takeaway was the heartfelt sharing from the 2 past gamers – gives a sense of realism to the entire session. Thanks so much for organising this superb sesson! Good job and well done! Will definitely encourage more parents to join future sessions!
