Psychiatrist and co-founder of the Healthy Gamer, Dr. Alok Kanojia, or “Dr. K”, joins Stacy to discuss why healthy use of technology has become harder, why parenting skills of the past don’t translate into the modern day, and ways to have encouraging and inquisitive conversations with our kids. Dr. K shares alarming statistics about gaming and gaming addiction in men and boys, and explains the allure of toxic masculinity proponents as sources of emotional validation.
