- Shorten your time on the computer/internet to 30 min or lower a day.
Parents can help out in this, too. If you child significantly cuts down his or her computer use, use the reward system as a treat for improving! Try even going for a whole week without going on the computer! (Note- accomplishing this deserves a bigger reward)

- Go outside and stand in the sun and do this every day for more and more times.
If you child is still too scared to do this, gradually expose them to light by first putting a small nightlight in their room. Eventually, your child will be comfortable in the sunlight. Keep increasing the amount of time in the sun until your child can safely go in the sun for one hour without getting too shaken up. Keep it up and your child will develop a tan! That�s a major accomplishment so award this milestone appropriately.

- Talk to people, best way to get it out of you, and you will make a friend.
Take your child to day camp, a playground, join a club or a sports team...anything! This way your child can interact with their peers. Your child will soon make friends that they will cherish for years to come.

- Exercise
Exercise is a great way to get your child out of the house and become more healthy while doing it! Ask your child about a sport that they are interested in doing, then try to get him/her involved in that sport. This is also another great way to make new friends and build self esteem!

Drastic Measures-
Sell or get rid of your child/spouses computer. At first, they will be extremely angry at you for taking one of their most valuable possesions, but with time they will understand that you did it for their own good. They will finally relize that a computer isn't beneficial to their health, and living your life to the fullest is the one of the most important things in life.

-If all else fails, see a therapist or a medical professional. They have experience dealing with this and will see that your child is helped.

Remember- The best thing you can do for your child is to be there and support them as much as you can in this difficult stage in their life. It is very difficult to overcome the Pale Kids Epidemic, but together you have a fighting chance!
