WordCraft Club Announces the Publication of Gaming Addiction In Children by Pat Fonda

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - June 30, 2022 - PRLog -- WordCraft Club is pleased to announce the publication of Gaming Addiction in Children by Pat Fonda. This gaming addiction book shows parents how to mitigate the addictive impact of video games on young children – and how to turn gaming into a positive experience for the whole family.

"Video games give families an easy way to keep kids occupied and entertained at a time when the space for unstructured play that our generations enjoyed is shrinking fast, especially in cities", says Pat Fonda.

"Our kids today are confined in the home, especially for families in high-crime neighborhoods," she added. "But now we have a problem – video game addiction – and most parents don't know how to cope with this new threat to the long-term health and well-being of kids."

A parent herself, with a youngster, Pat Fonda was inspired to write this book by a need to find answers to the problem of gaming addiction. It's a problem nearly every family with children faces, given the abundance of gaming equipment, tablets, and smartphones.

"Our kids are getting exposed to devices from a very young age," says Pat. "And with COVID-19 and the lockdowns, video games became more popular. That, plus the COVID calamities– deaths in the family, loss of loved ones, losses of income – and you can imagine that many children will have sought relief from these stresses by turning to video gaming."

This timely book covers a lot, from discussing the reasons why children get addicted to video games, the mistakes parents make trying to prevent kids getting addicted, what to do as a parent to help your child boost their self-control, the science behind why certain genres of video games are addictive, how to choose the best games for your child, and what to do if your child is clinically addicted (what's known as gaming disorder).

Parents will also learn how to decipher what insecurities your child has, or emotions they're trying to find expression for, from the video games they play.

The book can be ordered from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5DW3H6G  or https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B5DW3H6G, or other Amazon sites worldwide.
