The Big Disconnect

Résumé du livre

Catherine Steiner Adair, EdD, is a clinical psychologist who specializes in child and family therapy. She’s also an instructor at Harvard Medical School and a consultant for a number of schools.

The main idea conveyed in this book: It is advisable for children not to engage with digital media until they reach the age of five. It is more beneficial for them to concentrate on socializing and playing, allowing them to develop essential emotional skills. Parents should shield their children from cyberbullying and inappropriate content by maintaining a strong rapport with them so that their children feel at ease discussing their issues. While technology presents numerous opportunities for children, its safe and prudent use is crucial. Practical recommendation: Consider leaving your electronic devices at home when you venture into natural surroundings. Occasionally take breaks from technology. Treat your children to a camping trip or a visit to the beach. Take a hiatus from your smartphones and laptops for some time – it will benefit all parties involved. Seeking feedback?
