Left To Their Own Devices? Confident Parenting in a World of Screens - Parenting our children responsibly in a digital age is a challenge that Care for the Family’s Katharine Hill has been tackling head on.
She explores the impact of devices and the digital age on teenagers and younger children, giving practical advice on screen time, social media, and consumer culture as well as how to tackle some of the more serious issues such as cyberbullying, grooming and pornography.
Whether you are cradling a newborn or riding the rollercoaster of the teenage years, a stranger to Snapchat or have 500 followers on Twitter, this book is for mums and dads who not only want to ‘cope’ with bringing up children in the world of digital technology but to be on the front foot – confidently parenting in a world of screens.
In this second edition, Katharine covers the topics of gaming and ‘sharenting’ in two brand new chapters.
