Be the parent, please : stop banning seesaws and start banning Snapchat : strategies for solving the real parenting problems

Summary: Here, Naomi Schaefer Riley draws from her experience as a mother of three and delves into the latest research on the harmful effects that excessive technology usage has on a child's intellectual, social, and moral formation. Throughout each chapter, she backs up her discussion with "tough mommy tips" -- realistic advice for parents who want to take back control from tech. With the alluring array of gadgets, apps, and utopian promises expanding by the day, engulfing more and more of our lives, this book is both a wakeup call and a guide for parents who care about the healthy development of their children.
