Written in the style of an academic text, this book was well-researched and very informative. This would work well as a book study for teachers who are working on professional development. I think there is a lot to uncover in how schools and parents can work together to help adolescents harness technology for good.

Fortunately, this is not one of those apocalyptic books where I just read that by now my child's brain can't be saved. I also particularly appreciated, the constant asking of the same questions not only of the teenager, but also of ourselves, somewhat to gauge how much we ignore in ourselves the same addictive behaviors of our children. Well written and with doable suggestions.
Per fortuna non é uno di quei libri apocalittici in cui non faccio che leggere che ormai il cervello di mio figlio non si puó piú salvare. Ho apprezzato inoltre in modo particolare, il continuo fare le stesse domande non solo all'adolescente, ma anche a noi stessi, un po' per valutare quanto ignoriamo in noi stessi gli stessi comportamenti di dipendenza dei nostri figli. Ben scritto e con suggerimenti fattibili.
I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

"It’s Their Time: Teen Screens and the Science of Adolescence" explores the impact of digital media on teenagers. The authors discuss how adolescent brain development affects emotions and decision-making, highlight the pros and cons of screen time, and examine the influence of social media on identity and relationships. The book provides practical advice for parents and educators on fostering healthy tech use among teens. Overall, it's a valuable resource for understanding the challenges and opportunities of growing up in a digital age.
