( ) All parents of children using technology in and out of the home must read this book! Even if you're "too busy to read," take the time to at least read the chapters pertinent to the ages of the kids in your home. The author has compelling arguments backed by research as to why we can't throw over the human connection in favor of shiny new tech. I want to throw this book at every parent I see paying more attention to their smart phone than their own child! Much of this book seems defeatist--as if there is nothing a parent can do to protect his or her child from the pernicious influences of digital media. It is especially good at diagnosing the problem. However, in the last part of the book, the author finally offers some practical advice, so that there is a payoff in the end. In a world where a child’s playground is no longer just a playground, how do parents bridge the gaps between the digital and the real world for their children? That is the questions Catherine Steiner-Adair attempts to answer in her book. Each chapter is devoted to a specific age group, going up chronologically from birth to adulthood with examples and advice how to look for and deal with the pitfalls of technology and youth culture.

Steiner-Adair offers insights and advice that can help parents achieve greater understanding, authority, and confidence as they come up against the tech revolution and how families can combat the disconnection we are experiencing from our extreme device dependence.
Have iPads replaced conversation at the dinner table? What do infants observe when their parents are on their smartphones? Should you be your child's Facebook friend? As the focus of family has turned to the glow of the screen -- children constantly texting their friends, parents working online around the clock -- everyday life is undergoing a massive transformation. Easy availability to the Internet and social media has erased the boundaries that protect children from the unsavory aspects of adult life. Parents often feel they are losing a meaningful connection with their children. Children are feeling lonely and alienated. The digital world is here to stay, but what are families losing with technology's gain? As renowned clinical psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair explains, families are in crisis around this issue, and even more so than they realize. Not only do chronic tech distractions have deep and lasting effects, but children desperately need parents to provide what tech cannot: close, significant interactions with the adults in their lives. Drawing on real-life stories from her clinical work with children and parents, and her consulting work with educators and experts across the country, Steiner-Adair offers insights and advice that can help parents achieve greater understanding, authority, and confidence as they come up against the tech revolution unfolding in their living rooms. We all know that deep connection with the people we love means everything to us. It's time to look with fresh eyes and an open mind at the disconnection we are experiencing from our extreme device dependence. It's never too late to put down the iPad and come to the dinner table. - Publisher. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
