IT' S TIME FOR A NEW APPROACH TO SCREEN TIME. Jordan Shapiro believes we need to rethink parental attitudes to technology. There' s a damaging orthodoxy that presents screen-time as the ultimate modern parenting evil and the only acceptable response to it is restriction. Shapiro, psychologist, educational pioneer and father of two, draws on cutting-edge research in education, philosophy, neuroscience and psychology to show we' ve let fear and nostalgia stand in the way of our children' s best interests. In his optimistic, inspiring and practical guide to the new, digital frontier of childhood, he reframes gaming, social media and smartphones to offer fresh, evidence-based advice on how to take a more progressive approach. *Winner of the Spirituality & Practice Book Award as one of the 50 Best Spiritual Books of 2018. *' Shapiro successfully transforms our worst fears about screen time into excitement about the potential for redesigning childhood around our latest technologies . . . It' s a necessary book that I urge you to read. ' - The Telegraph' Shapiro knows what he' s talking about . . . Shapiro' s arguments are compelling' - USA Today' a thought-provoking, bold read. As a father of two daughters at similar ages to Jordan' s children (7 and 9), facing similar challenges and dilemmas, the book provided me with an inspiring and optimistic perspective that' s rare in the current media landscape. ' - Variety' Timely, essential, and thought-provoking, The New Childhood is the must-read parenting guide for raising 21st century, digitally driven kids. Instead of raising a white flag and giving in to social media and the Internet, Jordan Shapiro tells parents how to embrace technology, stay involved in their children' s lives, and prepare them for their future. Read it! I promise you' ll rethink your parenting. I couldn' t put it down' - Michele Borba, EdD, author of UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed In Our All-About-Me World
