Fresh Take: Dr. Alok Kanojia on Parenting a Healthy Gamer

How can we tear our kids away from the increasingly addictive video games they can't get enough of? Dr. Alok Kanojia, author of the book HOW TO RAISE A HEALTHY GAMER, explains how to talk to kids about their video game addiction.

Dr. Kanojia is a former gaming addict and a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who has developed evidence-based programs that helped tens of thousands of gamers overcome their addiction.

Margaret and Dr. Kanojia discuss:

• Signs that someone is addicted to something and why gaming can fill a void
• How to talk to your gamer about healthy habits
• Enforcing boundaries around gaming and dealing with resistance to those boundaries
