The tech diet for your child & teen : the 7-step plan to unplug & reclaim your kid's childhood (and save your family's sanity) / Brad Marshall.

Marshall, Brad, (author.).

Summary:

The Tech Diet for your Child & Teen provides real-life strategies that any parent can implement to create a healthy balance and put your kids' development first. Based on solid psychological research explaining why screen addiction is so powerful, Brad's jargon-free advice gives a clear plan for parents who have had enough and are serious about changing the way their kids use and interact with technology. The Tech Diet for your Child & Teen contains: ways to apply workable solutions for excessive internet use and gaming rather than fighting about it, advice on how to take control of the Wi-Fi and manage smartphones and data, practical tips to help survive the school holidays, how to tackle kids telling you they are doing 'homework' while switching screens, a holistic plan that puts your child's wellbeing first, screens second, special information for children with conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Anxiety and Depression."-- from publisher.
