About this listen
Read by the author, Dr Alok Kanojia.
Is your child spending too much time playing video games? Or are your children begging you for screen time and you don't know how to help them establish healthy tech habits? Are games causing conflict and arguments? Whatever brings you here, I can help.
How much should I let them play? How do I get them to be interested in anything else?!
Video games and managing screen time are a modern parenting problem with no blueprint and a rapidly changing landscape. Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former gaming addict, Dr Alok Kanojia – Dr K to his millions of followers – offers a proven, tested plan to help parents define, set and reinforce healthy boundaries around screens and video games.
From communication strategies and advice on dealing with behavioural issues to the neurological reasons behind why tech is so addictive, How to Raise a Healthy Gamer is essential for parents of children of all ages.
Based on Dr K’s own experience with gaming addiction and his neuroscientific and psychiatric expertise, this is an accessible and engaging eight-week, step-by-step program covering how to react when your child becomes irritable, rude, or seemingly directionless around screens. Specific advice is also offered for parenting neurodiverse children, including those with ADHD and autism.
Written to empower parents with knowledge and practical advice, this guide from the foremost expert on video game psychology provides skills, offers hope and sets out a clear road map to building healthy gaming habits that will equip your child for a fulfilling future.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Modern and methodical.
A superb tool for parents navigating the modern neuro-divergent world. This doesn't just provide a great insight but also gives a methodical approach into understanding and tackling your approach to helping your children around the use of social-media and gaming consumption alike.

From an 11 yo's parent
My son is young enough to still follow enforced rules, but he also loves gaming and this book is a great guidline for me. I don't have to put out the fire yet, but I now know much better how to deal with the enbers of the problem.
Thanks Dr K.

I would have preferred to have read this.
I’m a big fan of the author, and was really looking forward to listening to this, unfortunately I found it hard to follow and it seemed to go on and on.
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but in conclusion I felt I would have preferred to have read this.
The concepts and wisdom is great, I just wish I had bought the book instead and could have made notes.
