Publisher's summary

Have you been struggling to get your child away from the screen and into more proactive activities? Or maybe you’ve noticed your child’s mood has drastically changed - and not for the better. Tired of the constant battle after you press that off button? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

From Fortnite to Minecraft, Call of Duty to League of Legends, video games have become an important part of many lives. But what happens when it becomes a little too important? Sure, video games have some positive qualities: giving children a chance to meet new friends, providing an escape into fantastical new worlds, and giving them a competitive edge with updated quests and challenges. But what happens when it becomes too much?

This book is here to help you through the intricate situation of guiding your child away from the controller and helping them start taking control of their own life. We’ll discuss how to first get your foot through the door, leading to a stronger, better connection with your kid, how to open more communication lines between the two of you, and even how to hop right in to try out some of these games for yourself - just to see what all the fuss is about. This book will also discuss what signs to look out for if you believe your child has formed an addiction to video games, resources to help find professional help if needed, and to suggest - and get them to stick with - new activities.

If you’ve been fighting tooth and nail to try to drag your child away from the console and out into the real world, this book is for you. We get it. These days, it can be hard to relate to half the things kids keep coming up with, let alone the constant updates from game designers. But you’re not alone, and you’re not the only one who has faced this battle. With years of experience studying video games and their effects on children, the author is here to be your battle buddy.
