From the rise of social media addiction to the growing mental health crisis among children and teens\, parents are grappling with how they can create a healthy\, balanced relationship with technology for their kids. \nBestselling author Jean Twenge provides the much-needed playbook parents have been asking for. Drawing on her decades as a psychologist studying the impact of technology and mental health and her personal experience as the mother of three teenagers\, Twenge offers ten actionable rules for raising independent and well-rounded children. From setting “No Social Media Until 16” boundaries to creating no-phone zones like bedrooms and family dinners\, these rules are grounded in evidence yet simple enough to incorporate into any family routine. \nShort\, empowering\, and timely\, this book equips parents with the tools to combat not just immediate harms such as online bullying but also helps to nurture essential life skills\, preparing kids and teens to become autonomous adults. \nFree books available: text 734-308-0768 for your copy!
