How do I get them to be interested in anything else?! When it comes to family rules around video games, most parents are at a loss.

Drawing on Dr. K&’s professional specialization in working with people of all ages and varying degrees of addiction, and the most recent research from neuroscience and psychology, How to Raise a Healthy Gamer teaches parents a new skill set for negotiating gaming culture and offers solutions rooted in the science of treating addiction, including: • An eight-week, step-by-step road map for setting, enforcing, and troubleshooting healthy gaming boundaries.• Advice on how to react when your child becomes irritable, rude, or seemingly directionless.• Essential communication strategies for reaching kids who have developed a serious gaming problem.• The neuroscientific and psychological reasons that children gravitate to video games and how to help them meet these needs in real life.• Insights and advice on dealing with behavioral issues that often accompany game use: ADHD, spectrum disorders, and substance abuse. Whether your goal is to prepare your child for a healthy relationship to technology or to curb unhealthy amounts of time spent gaming, How to Raise a Healthy Gamer will help you better understand, communicate with, and—ultimately—empower your gaming enthusiast to live their best life.
