Prevent Digital Addiction

In today's digital age, addiction to screens and technology has become a pressing concern, particularly among children and adolescents. Excessive exposure to digital media can lead to a range of negative effects, including decreased attention span, impaired cognitive development, and increased risk of mental health disorders. However, there is a strategic solution that can help mitigate the risks of digital addiction: chess. This ancient game of strategy and skill offers a unique combination of cognitive stimulation, social interaction, and mental discipline that can help individuals, especially young people, develop healthier relationships with technology.

Global Chess Foundation has developed a customized course for combating and preventing digital addiction through the game of chess. The students are taught how to break repetitive thinking patterns through self talk and visualisation techniques to overcome the hazards of Digital Addiction.
