Today's teenagers spend an average of nine hours per day with their
noses immersed in the glow of their screens. Tweens are not far
behind, at six hours a day. Parents of this new, ultra-connected
generation struggle with decisions completely new to parenting:
Should they limit a child's screen time? Should an eight-year old
be allowed to go on social media? What about playing video games
with strangers? How can we keep them safe from harm when they go
online? Are they going to grow up less socially able if their
friendships are mostly conducted via text and emojis? In The
Connected Parent, acclaimed childhood development and technology
experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser tackle these and other concerns
of parents in the digital age. The book is organized by the topics
parents have asked about most often, from screen time and safety to
addiction and aggressive behaviour. But rather than pretending to
have the only-or even the best-advice for every child and every
family, the authors share the evidence as well as their own
(sometimes strong) point of view, all in order to empower parents
with ground-breaking insights that they can use to inform their
approach for their own unique situations. The outcome of over a
decade of research on children and technology conducted at the
Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law
School, The Connected Parent is required reading for any parent
trying to help their kids safely navigate the fast-changing,
uncharted territory our hyper-connected world.
