IT'S TIME FOR A NEW APPROACH TO SCREEN TIME. Jordan Shapiro
believes we need to rethink parental attitudes to technology.
There's a damaging orthodoxy that presents screen-time as the
ultimate modern parenting evil and the only acceptable response to
it is restriction. Shapiro, psychologist, educational pioneer and
father of two, draws on cutting-edge research in education,
philosophy, neuroscience and psychology to show we've let fear and
nostalgia stand in the way of our children's best interests. In his
optimistic, inspiring and practical guide to the new, digital
frontier of childhood, he reframes gaming, social media and
smartphones to offer fresh, evidence-based advice on how to take a
more progressive approach. *Winner of the Spirituality &
Practice Book Award as one of the 50 Best Spiritual Books of 2018.*
'Shapiro successfully transforms our worst fears about screen time
into excitement about the potential for redesigning childhood
around our latest technologies ... It's a necessary book that I
urge you to read.' - The Telegraph 'Shapiro knows what he's talking
about ... Shapiro's arguments are compelling' - USA Today 'a
thought-provoking, bold read. As a father of two daughters at
similar ages to Jordan's children (7 and 9), facing similar
challenges and dilemmas, the book provided me with an inspiring and
optimistic perspective that's rare in the current media landscape.'
- Variety 'Timely, essential, and thought-provoking, The New
Childhood is the must-read parenting guide for raising 21st
century, digitally driven kids. Instead of raising a white flag and
giving in to social media and the Internet, Jordan Shapiro tells
parents how to embrace technology, stay involved in their
children's lives, and prepare them for their future. Read it! I
promise you'll rethink your parenting. I couldn't put it down' -
