“Dr. Dilley has tackled one of the major stresses of present day parenting (how do we manage our children’s use of electronic media). It certainly takes evaluating our own behavior with media and refining parenting skills.  Even though parenting requires constant challenges, the uniqueness of electronic gaming has elevated that demand. Dr. Dilley has provided tools for parents to reestablish operational control.”
