John Rosemond, author of 14 parenting books and a parenting advice column, has compared video games with meth and slavery, of all things.
A concerned parent wrote into his column asking for some advice, as their child seemed to be depressed, but his principal hadn’t seen any signs of it:
“Our 14-year-old son seems depressed, to us, at least. His principal sees no sign of depression but thinks he’s socially anxious. The subjects of counseling and medication have come up. We have suggested to him that he get more exercise and spend less time playing video games and watching TV, but he says he hates sports. He appears to be withdrawing more and more into his video screen world. Our plan of action is to insist that he take up a sport if he wants the freedom to have a computer and video game. We want him to have balance in his life. Your thoughts?”
