Kids' Brains & Screens: A ScreenStrong Student Course

Revolutionizing Screen Education For Kids "Kids Brains and Screens is an extraordinary book. It covers so many aspects of digital life, it covers the science for each area, and it makes it all interesting, accessible, and useful to young people. The book is ideal for any school that has a digital media course, for any parent who wants to talk with their adolescent about why they have the family policies they do, and for any young person who can see that digital childhood is damaging some of their friends. The book shows ways out of the trap, ways to regain a human childhood that is full of real world fun." —Jonathan Haidt, Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, New York University—Stern School of Business, author of The Righteous Mind, Co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind, The Anxious Generation IMAGINE IF YOUR CHILD begged you for an extra hour in the backyard before bed instead of an extra hour of video games or if they preferred family movie nights over mindless social media scrolling.
