Scream Time: Screen Time Prevention and Health Promotion Guide for Parents (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781095946091)

Technology is here to stay. There is no question that the invention over the last century of telephones, radio, television, the internet and mobile devices have transformed society, creating both benefits and risks for families and children. As new technologies permeate every level of society, every generation of parents must come to terms with the pressures brought about by invention, marketing, consumerism and society. While multi-media has advantages in terms of learning and skill acquisition, it is important for parents to develop a family plan for media use and have the ability to recognize when a problem develops. Parents require preventative knowledge about how to have adaptive norms, checks and balances, limits and boundaries, while being able to model and monitor content safety within the forms of media with which their children come into contact.This guide and workbook is designed to provide parents with the means to orient to and identify issues through developing an individual family-based approach to optimize gaming, social and multi-media benefits, while minimizing screen-time and exposure to potential risks.
