A MUST READ for every adult who cares about kids The message in
"Face to Face" is simple yet profound: Increase actual face-to-face
connection and keep childhood real so children will be resilient,
healthy, and happy. Major focuses of the book include how digital
technology is influencing children's lives and how resiliency and
other social/emotional skills need special attention as parents
navigate this new terrain. Authored by a team of pediatricians and
educators (including the authors of the popular "Raising Our
Daughters" and "Raising Our Sons" books), this book is a goldmine
of neuroscience-based information: How children's brains grow
Recommendations for being mindful about screen time and reducing
busy-ness Parenting with social/emotional learning (SEL) in mind
How to support children in building healthy friendships as well as
in managing social group dynamics Latest research on the key
importance of connection and empathy in curtailing and reducing the
harm of bullying Best practices for fostering resiliency The
recurring themes in each of "Face to Face's" 7 chapters are: Stay
Connected, Cultivate Empathy, Create Safe Havens, Walk the Talk,
Take the Time, and Play/Create. These are the "touchstones" "Face
to Face" recommends parents use to help kids navigate learning to
master the art of face-to-face connection. ADVANCE REVIEWS "A
