Disconnect

Do you ever feel like your children don't have control over electronic devices and monitors–that electronics and screens control them instead? Excessive use of smartphones, computers, and tablets is demonstrably linked to a rising incidence of mental and psychological problems, especially in children. Too much screen time has a real impact on children's brains, self-esteem, emotional development, and social skills.

In this book, parents and others will find indispensable advice on how to correctly set limits for time spent in front of electronic device screens. An experienced and respected psychotherapist presents strategies based on scientific evidence and research. He offers a comprehensive look at how new technologies are changing the world our children are growing up in, how they affect their behaviour, and the way they learn and communicate with their families and friends.

Disconnecting our children, and ourselves, from digital technology is not easy, but it is not impossible either. And if you are determined to bring your family closer together and away from screens, this book is the ideal first step.
