I originally was interested in this book as my daughter gets closer to the age of getting a cell phone and hoping it would give me some guidance on how to navigate this. This book is mostly geared towards younger children yet I still found it really engaging and interesting!

I was honestly a little worried about reading a book on screen time because I was worried it would make me feel a lot of mom guilt. I loved how this book did the opposite by showing how screen time can benefit families when used in a way that makes sense for your family.

I really enjoyed the sections on making your children digitally literate. There is definitely a lot of food for thought in this book and I’d recommend it to any parent. My kids are 10 and 17 and I still found it useful!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

I really loved this! I appreciate the way the author destigmatizes the use of screens by adding context and helping the reader understand what's really going on when we engage with and/or disconnect from technology. We know abstinence doesn't work, and Brandin's book gives helpful guidance in taking a tailored approach to tech that meets individual and family needs. I've already used some of the skills I picked up from reading it, and I have been left with plenty of points to mull over. Love it!

Mx. Ash Brandin is such a knowledge educator in the area of technology. I am a long time follower of their content on social media. Even though I following them on Instagram and Substack, this book was so educational. I learned so much in this book. Ash’s advice was so realistic and helpful. It’s actually something that many parents will relate to. We are definitely going to implement their strategies in our home.
