The newest generation of children is exposed to ubiquitous
technology, more than any generation that preceded them. They are
photographed with smartphones from the moment they're born, and
begin interacting with screens at around four months old. Is this
good news or bad news? A wonderful opportunity to connect around
the world? Or the first step in creating a generation of addled
screen zombies? The truth is, there's no road map for navigating
this territory. But while many have been quick to declare this the
dawn of a neurological and emotional crisis, solid science on the
subject is surprisingly hard to come by. In this book, Anya
Kamenetz--an expert on both education and technology, as well as a
mother of two young children--takes a refreshingly practical look
at the subject. Surveying hundreds of fellow parents on their
practices and ideas, and cutting through a thicket of inconclusive
studies and overblown claims, she hones a simple message, a riff on
Michael Pollan's well-known "food rules": Enjoy Screens. Not too
much. Mostly with others. This brief but powerful dictum forms the
backbone of a philosophy that will help parents survive the
ubiquity of technology in their children's lives, curb their panic,
and create room for a happy, healthy family life. Kamenetz's
sophisticated yet practical thinking is a necessary cure for an age
of anxiety.
