Dr. Olive Kanuja, known as Dr. K or Healthy Gamer GG, drew from her experience as a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, a co-founder of a mental health platform, and a parent of two kids to write a book for parents. The book, 'How to Raise a Healthy Gamer,' offers an evidence-based approach to help parents understand how technology and gaming affect developing minds and support their kids in establishing healthy gaming habits. Dr. K encourages all parents to explore the book, whether dealing with video game addiction or aiming to set boundaries early on. She provides sample phrases for seeking help like 'I need help thinking through some stuff,' which can facilitate better understanding and support from others.
