Jean M. Twenge PhD
Jean Twenge, PhD, award-winning professor of psychology and author of the “lavishly informative” (The New York Times) Generations,returns with a concrete and accessible guide to raising resilient, successful, happy children in a time of overwhelming technological intrusion.
Parenting today often feels like an uphill battle, with technology invading every corner of our kids’ lives. From the rise of social media addiction to the growing mental health crisis among children and teens, parents are grappling with how they can create a healthy, balanced relationship with technology for their kids.
Bestselling author Jean Twenge provides the much-needed playbook parents have been asking for. Drawing on her decades as a psychologist studying the impact of technology and mental health and her personal experience as the mother of three teenagers, Twenge offers ten actionable lessons for raising independent and well-rounded children, including:
- Decide which first phone to give a child—and when
- Create no-phone zones, such as bedrooms and family dinners
- Cope with the school laptop, gaming console, tablet, etc.
- Counter common arguments, such as: “But all my friends have a smartphone”
And more.
Short, empowering, and timely, this book equips parents with the tools to combat not just immediate harms such as online bullying but also helps to nurture essential life skills, preparing kids and teens to become autonomous adults.
