224. "His Video Games are Having a Negative Impact"
Paul and his wife have 3 kids. Their middle child is playing too much Fortnite and it's not going well... Tech is a huge issue for most parents, and with good reason. You've got a teen brain that loves the high which games provide and parents who want their kids to see the wisdom in playing less, while feeling good about it all. In this episode we discuss how parents that want their teens to like them are disempowering themselves and not helping their teen as well as they could. Paul needs to mange his "worry freeze" and the need for a teenager to agree with him. Listen in to hear how it all plays out.
