Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 365: Dr. Alok Kanojia Explains How to Raise Healthy Gamers · 12 Mar 2024 podcast

And so when we become unhealthy gamers is when the game is the primary source of our needs fulfillment.

So when I am completely ashamed of myself in the real world, and instead of fixing that in any way, shape, or form, I retreat into the virtual identity, that becomes an unhealthy source of gaming.

So what we really focus on is, okay, fine, by all means, play video games because video games are fun.

They're here to stay.

98% of people under the age of 30 play video games.

They're not going anywhere.

And instead, what we really focus on is how can you build a life that is worth living so that gaming can be recreation?

It's awesome to be here, Debbie.

Thank

Yeah.

So I think my journey started with video game addiction.

So I was addicted to video games and my parents were wonderful.

They were loving, caring parents.

They're both doctors, actually.

So they understood medicine and to even a certain degree addiction, but they were just outgunned.

So I think technology has grown so much and has become so invasive and incredibly addicting.

And if you really think about parenting, like where do we learn how to parent?

We learn to parent from our parents.

And so if you think about the history of humanity, every parent has had to probably deal with some concerns around addiction.

But those usually start when kids are maybe in high school, teenagers.
