Book recommendations:Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hijacking Our Kids - and How to Break the Trance-Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D.
We’ve all seen them: kids hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends' houses―and the numbers are growing. Like a virtual scourge, the illuminated glowing faces―the Glow Kids―are multiplying. But at what cost? Is this just a harmless indulgence or fad like some sort of digital hula-hoop? Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids―a form of interactive educational tool. Don’t believe it. Face to Face: Cultivating Kids' Social Lives in Today's Digital World
-Kathy Masarie 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. |
