Description
Even for today's most tech-savvy parents, managing kids' technology use is a huge challenge fraught with uncertainties. What kinds (and amounts) of screen time boost learning and development—and what kinds may be harmful? When is the right age for a game console or a smartphone? How can kids and teens be protected from cyberbullying and learn to be good digital citizens? What impact do parents' technology habits have? In her busy psychiatry practice—and while raising her own kids—Jodi Gold sees every day both the mind-boggling benefits and the serious downsides of technology. In a positive, accessible style, she gives parents a wealth of practical strategies for navigating the digital frontier and creating realistic, doable rules and expectations for the whole family.
Advance Praise
“Just as our mothers and fathers worried about too much TV, today’s parents worry about their children getting lost in cyberspace....With Screen-Smart Parenting, Dr. Jodi Gold has provided the milestone book that will give important insight to every parent.”—From the Foreword by Tory Burch, CEO, designer, and mother of three
“No one understands the digital landscape and its complex presence in our children’s lives better than Jodi Gold. This book is a ‘must read’ for all parents who want to protect their children while still giving them access to all of the benefits technology has to offer. Dr. Gold’s realistic approach to navigating the cyber-culture is invaluable—she gives easy-to-follow and commonsensical advice. As parents, many of us are new to the digital world, while our children are naturals. This guide gives spot-on strategies for closing that gap and making the whole family’s approach to technology effortless.”—Holly Phillips, MD, general internist and CBS News Medical Contributor
“Dr. Jodi Gold has written the definitive guide to one of the most challenging issues facing parents today—raising kids in a digital age. Drawing on her wealth of experience as a mother and psychiatrist, Dr. Gold provides parents with a blueprint on how to cultivate wise media use at every stage of a child’s development. Thoughtful, well researched, and fun to read, this a book that all parents should have at the top of their reading list. Urgently needed and extremely practical, it is a godsend.”—Ellen Braaten, PhD, author, Bright Kids Who Can’t Keep Up
“As a parent who lives much of my life online and is at the same time concerned about my children’s media use, this is the book I’ve been waiting for. Here is a nonjudgmental, well-informed voice ringing out from the cacophony of anti-screen hysteria. Dr. Gold spells out in crystal-clear terms how we can help kids build the tech-savvy they need to become good digital citizens. Most of all, she has helped me understand that in order to address the concerns many of us share about children's technology use, parents need to develop healthy digital lives ourselves.”—Amy Shearn, parent and novelist
