Dr. Michael Rich, dubbed the “Mediatrician” thanks to his
acclaimed work as a pediatrician, child health researcher, and
children’s media specialist, offers a science-backed approach to
give parents the confidence they need to raise a child well (and to
raise a well child) in the digital age. Children are growing up in
a world of screens. They move seamlessly back and forth in a
physical-digital environment. But parents are both worried and
confused about when and how to introduce tablets, smartphones, even
television. When it comes to navigating kids' use of media,
all-or-nothing approaches are doomed to fail. Giving children free
reign over their screen use carries potential risks to their
physical and mental health and their emotional and social
development. Yet rejecting digital media is undesirable (and
probably impossible), since today's kids must navigate that realm
to succeed in school and the world in which, as adults, they'll be
expected to function well in a technology-rich environment. So how
do we help young people establish mastery of screens and harness
them for healthy development and social engagement? Features
include: Ask the Mediatrician: questions and answers based on Dr.
Rich's long-running advice column and podcast Media Rx:
prescriptive content based on insights from the Digital Wellness
Lab and CIMAID Let's Chat: detailed discussions of special topics
in media use and how to talk with your child about them Digital
Wellness Toolkit: a one-stop guide for actionable advice that you
can customize for your family's specific needs Backed by evidence
as well as decades of professional and personal practice, The
Mediatrican's Guide will give parents peace of mind and kids
much-needed tools to navigate digital media for the rest of their
lives.
