This session will break down why video games can become so absorbing for young people and how a hobby can quietly shift into something that affects school, sleep, mood, and family dynamics. We will talk about what is happening in the brain during gaming, why “just limit the screen time” rarely works, and how to approach conversations without power struggles or shutdowns.
