Description

In Part 2, I focus on practical strategies for introducing and managing video games at home. I explain how creating a simple gaming contract and using parental controls can help set clear, balanced schedules for play, homework, and other activities. I also highlight the benefits of co-playing—showing that setting limits is important for both kids and adults—and break down how dopamine works in the brain, reinforcing the need to balance gaming with other rewarding pursuits. Finally, I share my personal approach and tips, like keeping a gaming journal and maintaining open communication, to help your children build healthy self-regulation skills.
