Advice on parenting

Are your kids addicted to technology? Here is a practical, step-by-step guide that gives parents the tools to teach children, from toddlers to teens, how to gain control of their technology use.

Are your kids unable to step away from the screens? Here is a practical, step-by-step

guide that gives parents the tools to teach children, from toddlers to

teens, how to gain control of their technology use.

As

children spend more of their time on tablets and smartphones, using apps

specially engineered to capture their attention, parents are concerned

about the effects of so much technology use--and feel powerless to

intervene. They want their kids to be competent and competitive in their

use of technology, but they also want to prevent the attention problems

that can develop from overuse. Lucy Jo Palladino shows that the key is

to help kids build awareness and control over their own attention, and

in this guide she gives parents the tools to do exactly that, in seven

straightforward, evidence-based steps.

Parents will learn the

best practices to guide children to understand and control their

attention-and to recognize and resist when their attention is being

""snatched."" This approach can be modified for kids of all ages. Parents

will also learn the critical difference between voluntary and

involuntary attention, new findings about brain development, and what

puts children at risk for attention disorders.
