I'm very proud of you， Dr。 K！ I think this was a great book with a lot of fantastic strategies for people of all ages。 I do wish there was a summary chapter to end the book in a bit more of a hopeful note。 I am looking forward to your next installment。 I'm very proud of you， Dr。 K！ I think this was a great book with a lot of fantastic strategies for people of all ages。 I do wish there was a summary chapter to end the book in a bit more of a hopeful note。 I am looking forward to your next installment。 。。。more

I skimmed this book because a lot of what Kanojia says are things I’ve already read or known。 That said， I think this is a very good parenting book with clear and helpful advice that can help parents to moderate their child’s gaming （understanding games and their effect on the brain， communicating effectively with your child， boundary setting， involving the child in creating a boundary plan， how to handle resistance from the child and others in the child’s life， etc。）。 A lot of the advice could I skimmed this book because a lot of what Kanojia says are things I’ve already read or known。 That said， I think this is a very good parenting book with clear and helpful advice that can help parents to moderate their child’s gaming （understanding games and their effect on the brain， communicating effectively with your child， boundary setting， involving the child in creating a boundary plan， how to handle resistance from the child and others in the child’s life， etc。）。 A lot of the advice could also applied to other difficult situations。I particularly enjoyed the last section on how mental health can affect a child’s gaming。 Kanojia discusses four specific areas （ADHD， Autism spectrum， depression/anxiety， marijuana use）。 The chapter on marijuana abuse and gaming was full of new， insightful information to me。Kanojia also stresses the importance of a complete mental health evaluation in the last section， something I appreciate as an educator！ Parents are often resistant to a mental health evaluation for their child， so it’s always helpful when others are stressing its importance too。Overall， I think this is a good， solid parenting advice book。 I might even recommend it to a few families at my school！ 。。。more

As a gaming parent with a kid who also games， I just wanted to see what kind of signs I may need to look out for if things start to turn unhealthy。 I found the book interesting though everyone's situations and relationship with their children are always different。 The last part of the book dedicated to cannabis seem to come out of left field。。。 As a gaming parent with a kid who also games， I just wanted to see what kind of signs I may need to look out for if things start to turn unhealthy。 I found the book interesting though everyone's situations and relationship with their children are always different。 The last part of the book dedicated to cannabis seem to come out of left field。。。 。。。more

How to Raise A Healthy Gamer is the book every millennial parent needs。 It can be hard to find a balance between video games and the rest of life。 As a family who cut out most video game time last summer a plan like this would have been helpful。 I especially appreciate the chapter on autism as it did create a unique struggle as we cut back on technology。

Excellent book。 The people who would find this most useful are parents with kids from childhood to dependent adults。 Others can enjoy it too， since it's not merely a manual， but a dive into understanding how video games fulfill needs and are engineered to lure you in。 Excellent book。 The people who would find this most useful are parents with kids from childhood to dependent adults。 Others can enjoy it too， since it's not merely a manual， but a dive into understanding how video games fulfill needs and are engineered to lure you in。 。。。more

It’s an extremely written book if you are a parent/guardian or even a relative of a child with an “addiction” to video games。 One note - i’ve recommended this book to several other people， and I always give them the same warning:Early on in the book the author discusses his background and it’s unfortunately comes across， or at least did to me， as if the book is going to have a very spiritual/religious way of dealing with the issue。 This is fortunately not the case。 It winds up being a very well It’s an extremely written book if you are a parent/guardian or even a relative of a child with an “addiction” to video games。 One note - i’ve recommended this book to several other people， and I always give them the same warning:Early on in the book the author discusses his background and it’s unfortunately comes across， or at least did to me， as if the book is going to have a very spiritual/religious way of dealing with the issue。 This is fortunately not the case。 It winds up being a very well written book with a lot of great advice and strategies that are easy to follow。The author takes quite a bit of time to explain how to bring things on gradually versus an all at once approach which ultimately would likely backfire。 。。。more

I like Dr。 Kanojia's work across the board。 This book gets very specific into helping parents deal with kids who play video games excessively as well as helping to define those situations。 While not having kids myself， I believe this book would have helped my parents when I was younger approach me in a more human way。 And that might be the real value in this book， how to interact with your kids in a way that gets them to feel like they matter while still maintaining the control of a parent。 I like Dr。 Kanojia's work across the board。 This book gets very specific into helping parents deal with kids who play video games excessively as well as helping to define those situations。 While not having kids myself， I believe this book would have helped my parents when I was younger approach me in a more human way。 And that might be the real value in this book， how to interact with your kids in a way that gets them to feel like they matter while still maintaining the control of a parent。 。。。more

As a ludologist， I bought this book to study。 However， after reading it， I believe this is the best book for a parent with a child who has an unhealthy relationship with video games。As someone who struggled with video game addiction in my childhood， I wish this book would have been around many years ago for my parents to read。The book is very thorough and it outlines the approach I hope to take someday if I too become the parent of a gamer。

exchange for an honest review！） I am a MASSIVE fan of Dr。 K and Healthy Gamer。 I think him and his team do such amazing and life changing work。 Hilarious timing how I was lamenting to my mom not too long ago about how disappointed I was that he hadn't yet written a book， and here it is！ （And I hope the To say my hype was off the charts for not only seeing this available on NetGalley but also

his team do such amazing and life changing work。 Hilarious timing how I was lamenting to my mom not too long ago about how disappointed I was that he hadn't yet written a book， and here it is！ （And I hope there are many more！）Speaking as someone who is NOT in the target audience for this book （I am not a parent at all， let alone of any gamers）， I still found I got a LOT out of this book。 Putting aside having a nephew who is getting really into gaming， there is SO MUCH in this book that can apply to， well， anything other than gaming。 These are all basic psychological concepts that are used with gaming in mind， but if you're familiar enough with psychology， or really take your time with this book， keep an open mind， and see how these concepts may apply outside of gaming， there is so much knowledge to take away here that could be generally helpful to one's life。With that， I could see this being a book I'd say every parent should read in general。 It covers gaming addiction， but it could be applied to other media addictions or issues too。 TV， social media， etc。 Even just dealing with setting boundaries or ground rules in your household。 The bare bones of the book is communicating and trying to understand your child。 Building bridges to work together to cross over and reach goals （both yours AND， importantly， theirs too！）。 Treat them like an actual person， no matter their page， and let them feel like their thoughts and feelings matter。 Something I think a LOT of adults dismiss about children。 Dr。 K also goes into detail about ADHD， autism， depression， anxiety， and marijuana addiction on top of just gaming addiction， and how those things can overlap or even make things worse or more difficult for someone。 （Again， replace "games" with other things， and this book covers a LOT！） As someone with depression and anxiety disorders， and suspected ADHD， I definitely felt heard reading those sections of the book。 He does a fantastic job explaining these topics and gives parents really great suggestions on approaching how to deal with children with these afflictions。Along with that， Dr。 K also discusses what to do with other adults in the child's life， such as a spouse or ex， grandparents， and the child's friend's parents。 Really lots of great advice there too。 If not everyone is on board to make changes， it can cause a lot of cracks to fall into， and Dr。 K does his best to give you the resources you need to build a solid foundation from the get-go。Fact: From a neuroscientific perspective， gamers are actually more immature than non-gamers。 Knowing that his audience is largely gamers， as that is his brand image， I just found this line to be hilarious。 He's not wrong， but， you know xD[。。。] the more we strive--or intervene in our kid's lives--to keep them from failing， the more easily they will give up the responsibility to do things for themselves。 Speaking from personal experience here， I was extremely babied by my parents growing up， and having to break out of that helplessness-mindset has been one of the most difficult things for me to do。 I super appreciate how much discussion the author put here in laying out how completely coddling a child can have long-term negative side effects。If I'm sailing a boat， and I change my course by just one degree， after a year of traveling， I'll end up in a completely different place than if I hadn't made that slight course correction。 That's our goal。 I love how much hope and optimism there is in this book。 Again， while I'm not a parent， that quote in general can apply to so many things。 He's not unrealistic about the work it will take to get there， it for sure isn't a simple or quick process， but it's doable， and he certainly does his best in making you feel capable in achieving it。Appendixes in the book give quick overviews for skimming and getting reminders in case there are details you've forgotten or need help with， along with a potential timeline to follow。Overall， such a fantastic read！ I didn't want to rush through it since it was so much to digest。 （I took so many screenshots to save for later。 You could spend countless hours writing notes and journaling from this book--kids or no kids， gaming addiction or no， haha。） It was a nice way to sort of hold a mirror to myself as well。 I definitely recommend this book， and Dr。 K's YouTube channel HealthyGamerGG！ So glad I was able to get a copy， I'll for sure be picking up copies of this to others in my life no doubt。 :） 。。。more
