Description

This is a hugely important episode. Video games are part of almost every kids life, but there is a difference between playing for fun and using them to replace real life. Games like Minecraft and Fortnite have become part of our popular culture and make up a large part of kids' social lives. According to the World Health Organization, video game addiction is now an official mental health condition. It changes a child's brain chemistry and can lead to depression and isolation. In this episode, TEDx speaker Cam Adair talks about his experience with gaming disorder. He also talks about why video games are so addictive, how to recognize the signs of video game addiction in our kids, and how parents can set healthy boundaries for gaming.
