Description & Specifications

The latest generation of children is exposed to the ubiquity of technology more than any previous generation. They are photographed with smartphones from the moment they are born and begin interacting with screens around four months old. Is this positive or negative? A wonderful opportunity to connect with the world? Or the first step in creating a generation that gets distracted by screens? The truth is, there is no roadmap for navigating this area. Despite many rushing to declare the onset of a neurological and emotional crisis, science-based research on the subject is surprisingly difficult to find. In this book, Anya Kamenetz—a specialist in education and technology, as well as a mother of two young children—presents a breakthrough based on a practical approach. By studying hundreds of parents about their practices and ideas and absolutely cutting through a jungle of uncertain studies and exaggerated claims, she focuses on a simple message, a variation on Michael Pollan's well-known "food rules": Enjoy Screens. Not too much. Mostly with others. This brief yet powerful clause forms the backbone of a philosophy that will help parents survive the technology overload in their children's lives, reduce their panic, and create space for a happy and healthy family life. Kamenetz's sophisticated yet practical thinking is a necessary remedy for an age of anxiety.
