Kiko grows and cultivates her garden, harvesting and sharing the
fruits and veggies with her friends, neighbors, and family. This
delightful tale serves as a metaphor of nurturing relationships and
community, while sharing kindness with others. Grow Kind is a
gentle narrative based on positive psychology and choice theory,
essentially about cultivating kindness.
Parents often worry about raising kids in a tech-saturated world -
the threats of cyberbullying, video game violence, pornography, and
sexting may seem inescapable. And while these dangers exist, there
is a much more common and subtle way that technology can cause
harm: by eroding our attention spans. Focused attention is
fundamental to maintaining quality relationships, but our constant
interaction with screens and social media is shortening our
attention spans - which takes a toll on our personal connections
with friends and family and our ability to form real relationships.
Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World
guides parents in teaching their children how to reap the benefits
of living in a digital world while also preventing its negative
effects. Mike Brooks and Jon Lasser, psychologists with extensive
experience working with kids, parents, and teachers, combine
cutting-edge research and expertise to create an engaging and
helpful guide that emphasizes the importance of the parent-child
relationship. They reject an "all or nothing" attitude towards
technology, in favor of a balanced approach that neither idealizes
nor demonizes the digital. Brooks and Lasser provide strategies for
preventing technology from becoming problematic in the first place;
steps for addressing problems when they arise; and ways of
intervening when problems are out of control. They also discuss the
increasingly challenging issue of technology use in schools, and
how parents can collaborate with educators when concerns arise over
kids' use of technology.

norms about what it means to be a boy, readers will rejoice at all
of the possibilities.
