Children today are digital natives, growing up in an age where
social media and online communication is the norm. This book is an
indispensable guide for parents who may feel they are struggling to
keep up, addressing the issues that young people and their families
face in the world of modern technology. Suzie Hayman, a parenting
counsellor, and John Coleman, a distinguished psychologist, use
their combined expertise to explore the challenges and
possibilities of being constantly connected, helping parents to
make choices about how they communicate, set boundaries and
establish rules. Using real-world examples and solid psychological
theory, the book looks first at the anxieties parents express about
digital technology, followed by the serious potential threats such
as cyber-bullying, sexting and easy access to pornographic or
violent materials. However, the internet is also full of enormous
potential and a further chapter explores the positive side of the
digital playground. The authors also share their expert
understanding of child and adolescent development and how this
relates to the appeal of digital media, with special attention paid
to the importance of good communication. The end result is a
toolbox for parents, full of tips, strategies and techniques
designed to help navigate the digital world, ensuring it is safe
yet still exciting for young people. Parents and Digital Technology
is essential reading for all parents and guardians as well as those
caring for children and teenagers in a professional setting, who
want to get the best out of life and modern technology while
keeping safe in a family that talks to each other, spends time with
each other and enjoys each other.
