Pause and reset : a parent's guide to preventing and overcoming problems with gaming
Petry, Nancy M.2019
Books
Over 90% of children and adolescents play electronic or computerised games, and 25% play for three hours a day or even longer. Although some degree of video game playing is normal, excessive playing can negatively impact schoolwork, kids' social lives, and even their health. 'Pause and Reset' is aimed at parents concerned about the role of gaming in their children's lives. In this informative, reader-friendly book, addiction expert Dr. Nancy Petry sheds light on what constitutes problematic video gaming and what does not, how to determine whether a child, adolescent or young adult may be 'addicted' to gaming or developing problems with it, and when to seek professional help.
