How do the HG Parent Programs work?
Healthy Gamer Family Programs combines didactic learning, live lectures and group support that enables you to:
Rebuild your relationship
Regain your child’s trust by understanding his/her world and the needs video games fulfill in order to foster empathetic, relationship-centered communication.
Reshape their future
Create a different physical, emotional and social environment to help your child explore his/her full potential.
Prioritize progress
Moving the focus from quitting video games to supporting your child’s real-world success saves both of you from the constant argument around video games.
Control the timeline
Our digital solution does what traditional therapy models can’t - it moves at your pace and gives you the tools you need all at once.

Role as a parent
What role can a parent play in overcoming video game addiction? In our experience, the best role a parent can play is two-fold:
#1
Understand what is going on in your child’s brain both neuroscientifically and psychologically.
#2
Rebuild your relationship with your child to help you both regain control of your lives.
