Video Games and Your Kids, by Cash & McDaniel
 
I recommend this book for parents who are worried that their children may be spending too much time playing video games. Based on research and the author s clinical experience, the book explains what gaming addiction is, how much gaming is too much, and the effects gaming has on the body and brain, as well as specific advice for each developmental age of your child.

This book is written from the first hand experience of a man who was a college professor, husband, father, yet found himself on the brink of suicide due to his addiction to video games. This is a very powerful testimony and warning in regards to the negative impact video games can have on the lives of those we love.
