Do you sometimes wish that your child could exercise more control where playing his or her favorite video game is concerned?

Have you sometimes lost your cool over your kid’s “unhealthy” enthusiasm for the electronic game that you even considered throwing the expensive gaming gear out the window – or snatching that tablet out of their hands?

Do you wish sometimes that your kid’s “addiction” to their video game, besides obviously being a great source of enjoyment for them, should be a positive experience for you all?

Electronic games, including video games, can help families and parents by taking up the slack created by the shrinking space for unstructured play that past generations of children enjoyed.

But there is a problem – gaming addiction in children. For a sizeable fraction of children these games can become too addictive and immersive that children end up experiencing all sorts of negative consequences from overusing video game gear – not sleeping enough, neglecting their hygiene, neglecting their school work, failing to connect socially with family and friends, and so on.

The goal of this book is to help parents create an environment where video games exert less power over their children – through creating diversity in the recreational choices available to their kids, through boosting the child’s self-control, and building a “culture” around video gaming that fosters social-emotional stability for the kids so that gaming benefits the whole family, not just the child.

We’ll look at:
  • Why kids get addicted to video games in the first place (from revelations of real video gaming addicts)
  • How to discover why your child prefers a certain genre of video games (this tells you what insecurities they have or pent-up emotions they want to find expression for that you may not know about)
  • Insights on how to choose age-appropriate and personality-appropriate video games for your child
  • How to tell if your kid is a “problem gamer,” or their intensity of play simply shows healthy enthusiasm for the game
  • The science and psychology of why certain genres of video games are so addictive and immersive – and why it’s probably unrealistic to expect your kid to moderate their game play unaided
  • What you can do as a parent to help save your kid from video game addiction – and what to do if they’re already addicted to video gaming.
