Still in the Room: Raising Kids Through Social Media, AI, and Everything the Internet Throws at Them (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783982868516)

Your child is in their room. The door is closed. A blue glow seeps under it. You don't know what they're watching, who they're talking to, or what the algorithm is feeding them at 11pm.

You're not failing. You're facing something no previous generation of parents has had to navigate.

Still in the Room is the evidence-based guide for parents who want to stop Googling in a panic and start parenting with clarity. Drawing on the largest studies in the field - including Common Sense Media's groundbreaking survey on teens and pornography (n=1,358), the APA's Health Advisory on adolescent social media use, and NCMEC's sextortion data - it translates what researchers actually know into what you can actually do.

This book covers what others won't:
- How to talk to your child about pornography before the internet does it for you
- How fitness influencers sell steroid-enhanced bodies to teenage boys as "discipline"
- How sextortion networks target children - and why boys are now 90% of victims
- How loot boxes train gambling behavior in 8-year-olds
- How to be the parent your child tells things to - even the hard things

16 chapters. Five appendices with ready-to-use tools. Conversation scripts for three age bands (6-9, 10-12, 13-16). A family media agreement template. International crisis resources covering 40+ countries.

You can't childproof the internet. But you can raise a child who knows how to navigate it - and who knows you're still in the room.
