They're trying to take my game away.
The parent thinks, oh my God, this child is losing their mind.
So they try to control the child.
Y'all aren't on the same team.
So what this creates is like an escalating war of like deception, right?
I once had a family that told me that, okay, we fixed the problem by taking the power cord from PlayStation and locking it up in the liquor cabinet.
Kid goes on YouTube, watches tutorials about how to pick locks, learns to pick locks, sneaks down at midnight every night and plays from midnight to 5 a.m., locks the power cord back up, and then sleeps for an hour and a half before they get woken up for school.
So this just doesn't work.
Like these escalating power struggles is not the goal.
The other thing that we sort of realized is that the goal of the parent is to prepare your child for the world that they're going to grow up in and the world that they're going to live in.
And preparing your child isn't going to work if your approach is restriction, because at some point they're going to have access to it.
And then have you trained their brain to resist the pull of technology?
Not at all.
Not if you're using restriction.
So these two fundamental things lead us to you and your child have to be on the same team.
And as we create the team, it's beautiful what happens.
So remember, the reason your child is addicted to video games is because the game is fulfilling a fundamental need they have.
They're not confident in their body.
They do not have friends.
Just about every gamer that we've worked with, right?
