And while these dangers exist, there is a much more common and subtle way that technology can cause harm: by eroding our attention spans. Focused attention is fundamental to maintaining quality relationships, but our constant interaction with screens and social media is shortening our attention spans - which takes a toll on our personal connections with friends and family and our ability to form real relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eTech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World\u003c\/em\u003e guides parents in teaching their children how to reap the benefits of living in a digital world while also preventing its negative effects. Mike Brooks and Jon Lasser, psychologists with extensive experience working with kids, parents, and teachers, combine cutting-edge research and expertise to create an engaging and helpful guide that emphasizes the importance of the parent-child relationship. They reject an \"all or nothing\" attitude towards technology, in favor of a balanced approach that neither idealizes nor demonizes the digital. Brooks and Lasser provide strategies for preventing technology from becoming problematic in the first place; steps for addressing problems when they arise; and ways of intervening when problems are out of control. They also discuss the increasingly challenging issue of technology use in schools, and how parents can collaborate with educators when concerns arise over kids' use of technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Brooks, Jon Lasser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190665297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190665296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2018 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/10\/2018","brand":"Mike Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990098247935,"sku":"9780190665296","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_499513bb-122b-4d50-91df-895b6cefd165.jpg?v=1683302979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tech-generation-mike-brooks-9780190665296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
