How do you know when your child is ready for a smartphone? Which apps are the most dangerous for my 13-year-old? What do I do if I catch my child watching porn? How do I get to a place of trusting my kid with social media? How do I spot signs of trouble in my kid from their use of social media?

These are questions parents ask every day - parents who are overwhelmed, fearful or ignorant about social media and technology. Parenting in a Tech World is for parents who don't know where to start with addressing the use of technology in their homes. Our book is a comprehensive resource that answers your questions, and provides you with a plan of action for developing a relationship between you, your child and technology.

Our families have been adversely affected by technology, just like yours. Whether it's viewing inappropriate material or being unable to focus on anything else. We've felt the tension of needing to use technology and being concerned with what our kids might stumble into online.

Also, our families have been positively affected by technology. Whether Facetiming with grandparents, chatting with friends who have moved away, or playing online games among siblings, we've benefitted from the connection that technology and social media can bring.

Parenting in a Tech World addresses common tensions surrounding tech, and provides a valuable perspective on how technology can't be ignored, but must be taught to be used responsibly. We break down how to talk to kids about tech, and how to teach them boundaries on social media. With practical tips, real-world advice from fellow parents, and helpful exercises, we walk you through how to nurture a healthy relationship between your kid and technology by the time they leave your house.

From hardware to new apps, to new users, to new features, we take a look at what you need to be mindful of when introducing anything to your family's online network. To fully equip you, we share impactful websites that provide tools you can use to inform yourself and develop a tech infrastructure for your family.

Though technology isn't inherently good or bad, it can be used either way. Through the use of statistics, we show you what's going on with kids and tech. And we prove exactly how important it is to monitor your child's technology use.

Parenting in a Tech World is your guide, from start through finish, to creating a healthy relationship with technology among your family members. The stakes for your child's wellbeing and safety are too high to gloss over the power technology has in our society. If you're looking for where to begin with managing technology in a healthy way, Parenting in a Tech World is that starting line.

A Refreshing Take on a Tough Subject

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a breath of fresh air amid a slew of tech and parenting books. First of all, the authors are both parents themselves and GET kids which make them totally relatable. And even though they work in tech, they're still dealing with the same situations as the rest of us. I like how the chapters are broken down by things we as parents would actually say (or think) and then answer those questions step by step. I've literally been sitting here trying to figure out my kids' tech lives and questioning every decision I've made since distance learning started. Not only does this book help with the hard stuff (stats, issues, tech terms, etc...) but it just makes me feel better about everything I'm doing (or not doing!). We need more positive vibes in this world and this book does it! Kudos to the authors for turning tech into something that's not so intimidating anymore. I'm buying this for all of my friends for the holidays. Cover is lively, too, and makes me smile.

This is a great book with real world suggestions. Most articles/books about children and technology is all very very scary with no solutions but this book is incredibly informative with real suggestions on how to navigate this new way of parenting. The authors are very relatable. Parenting in a Tech World covers a very important topic that we as parents all need to educate ourselves about.
