Thanks to Dr. K, I now have a far better and more nuanced understanding of what role gaming plays in my child's life, which has allowed me to communicate about gaming with less judgment and more compassion.

Sarah, Parent
Honestly, this program has been life-changing for our family. We were desperately seeking help for years, but health professionals didn’t seem to acknowledge or understand the issues. I am so grateful for all of the information and help this program has provided our family.
New Perspective
Suzzane & Heath
It is a very unique experience for me to learn about video games and what parents can do to help. I have learned to be more calm and to control my anxiety so that I can help my child in a more effective way.
Emotional Support
Jean
I began to realize how deeply video games affect children. I learned that there were things my son was secretly craving and wanting to fulfill in life. The resource showing the correlation between video game genres with specific personality traits and personal needs was so valuable.
New Perspective
Fiona B, Parent
I’ve learned how to manage my gaming habits and feel so much happier and more in control of my life. Dr. Kanojia really gets gamers. There’s nobody more empathetic, compassionate, and knowledgeable that I can recommend than Dr.K.
