Why this book matters:
The World Health Organization now recognizes Gaming Disorder as a real condition. But the problem isn’t just “too much screen time”—it’s disconnection. Kids turn to games to feel powerful, accepted, or safe when real life feels overwhelming. By understanding the root causes and setting healthy structures, you can give your child back what they truly need: connection, confidence, and purpose.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need a plan.
With Claire Weston’s compassionate guidance, you’ll stop feeling powerless, stop fighting the same battles, and start building a family life where games are just one part of the picture—not the whole story.
It’s time to press pause, and press play on what matters most: your kids, your family, and your peace of mind.
