GAME ON: Empower your kid with self-regulation skills for a more peaceful and enjoyable video game experience!
Starting this September, Game On is a 6 week, in person group designed for children ages 8-10 and aims to increase their awareness of their physical and emotional needs related to video game play.
- Does your child flip out while playing video games?
- Is there a lot of yelling during video game play?
- Does your child have a melt down when asked to stop playing or when you say “no” to screen time?
We focus on developing strategies to support these needs and enhance regulation during challenging moments. In short we give children skills to help them keep their cool while playing video games alone or with friends. This group may be right for you if your child:
- Has trouble transitioning from game play to other activities.
- Frequently gets frustrated while playing video games.
- Throws things during game play.
- Has trouble playing video games with peers without yelling or fighting.
- Has an irritable mood after video game play.
- Engages in negative self talk or talking negatively about others.
By teaching about the brain and body and exploring regulation strategies, children will learn more about themselves, understand how to regulate their emotions, and collaborate with their peers. Facilitators will use direct teaching methods as well as in-the-moment practice while the children play video games.
There will be no more than 6 children in each group. Children will be playing multiplayer games that will include individual play and group play. Sometimes participants will be watching others play. We will take turns and practice regulation skills while waiting to play and watching others.
Additionally parents will meet virtually 3 times to learn about good technology habits and further understand how they can help their children regulate around video games.
Parents will discuss:
-
The science behind why our kids behave this way.
-
How to set successful limits around video games.
-
How to support yourself and your child around their challenges.
-
Learn how to support more peaceful transitions from game play to other activities.
Please note this is a skill building group and not therapy. This means we are learning and practicing different skills that will aid in regulation while playing video games.
The fee for the 6 week group is $680. Please note that we do have some spaces available for reduced rates. Please contact us at christy@
The kids will meet each week at the Louisville Family Center on Main Street in Louisville, CO. 908 Main Street Ste. 250, Louisville, CO 80027
