Heritage Builders authors and speakers Kurt and Olivia Bruner have released a new book that helps parents understand the growing epidemic of video game addiction. Their research explains why nearly 25% of kids are already hooked – with boys much more vulnerable than girls.

Most games trigger physiological reactions in the brain similar to those associated with substance abuse. The Bruners explain that, while most parents screen the content of games to protect their children from violent and sexual themes, few understand the forces causing their children to become obsessed with what they call “the digital drug.” To learn more about the problem or order an advance copy of the book, visit our special web site at www.VideoGameTrouble.org.
