Beautifully Complex

Listen Later

Are you tired of battling your kid over screen time and gaming habits, only to see your relationship suffer and the issues persist? In this episode of "Beautifully Complex," I welcome Dr. Alok Kanojia (aka, Dr. K), psychiatrist and President and Co-Founder of Healthy Gamer. As a recovering gaming addict himself, Dr. K offers a unique perspective on how to address and understand your child's gaming behaviors, with a particular focus on neurodivergent kids.

Dr. K shares actionable strategies and insights to help you foster a healthier relationship with your child while guiding them toward balanced gaming habits. You'll learn why neurodiverse children are drawn to the structure and clarity of virtual worlds and discover the importance of understanding their unique challenges. By aligning your child's motivations, using evidence-based techniques, and aiming for slow but sustainable changes, you can transform unhealthy gaming into a balanced part of a satisfying life. Join us to gain valuable tools and perspectives that will help you support your child's well-being and nurture a stronger, more understanding relationship.
