Swami Mukundananda
Why does my child choose video games over studies even when I explain?
Child chooses pleasure, parent wants benefit
Parents, with their wisdom, want the child's best benefit (shreya). The child's self-control and wisdom have not stabilized, so the child wants present pleasure (preya), such as video games.
The parent says you should study and get into a good college so you have a wonderful life. The child says, who wants all that? Video games are giving me pleasure.
