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, a 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 pro.
