This guide gives spot-on strategies for closing that gap and making the whole family’s approach to technology effortless.”--Holly Phillips, MD, general internist and CBS News Medical Contributor

Every parent should have this book to guide them in making decisions so that their children--from newborns to teens--can reap the benefits of technology while avoiding the pitfalls. I am buying extra copies of this book for my sons, who are both raising young kids."--Peg Dawson, EdD, coauthor of Smart but Scattered

Bierman, PhD, Evan Pugh University Professor and Professor of Psychology, Human Development, and Family Studies, The Pennsylvania State University

"This book is so great! As parents of a second and a fifth grader, it is challenging and, honestly, scary to always be on top of what content they are accessing and whom they are communicating with. Dr. Gold provides practical tools to help us establish digital rules and enforce them consistently. Her writing style is easy to read and digest--it is extremely personable and never judgmental. Reading this book together has encouraged us to talk about how to prepare our kids for their digital journeys and how to actively protect and guide them along the way.

"As a parent who lives much of my life online and is at the same time concerned about my children’s media use, this is the book I’ve been waiting for. Here is a nonjudgmental, well-informed voice ringing out from the cacophony of anti-screen hysteria. Dr. Gold spells out in crystal-clear terms how we can help kids build the tech savvy they need to become good digital citizens. Most of all, she has helped me understand that in order to address the concerns many of us share about children's technology use, parents need to develop healthy digital lives ourselves."--Amy Shearn, parent and novelist

“Just as our mothers and fathers worried about too much TV, today’s parents worry about their children getting lost in cyberspace....With Screen-Smart Parenting, Dr. Jodi Gold has provided the milestone book that will give important insights to every parent.”--From the Foreword by Tory Burch, CEO, designer, and mother of three-This is a timely and very interesting book….Gold does a balanced job of pointing out the hazards of excessive online activity as well as pointing out many of its benefits. For younger children, she provides a good number of positive resources which parents can draw upon. The basic rules of good parenting also apply to the online world and Gold very clearly emphasizes the need for good boundaries both online and offline as well as for consistent, reasoned, and nonoverreactive parent management of Internet errors….For any parent who is concerned about their children's digital experience and for those who wish for more knowledge of what their children might be getting into, this can be a recommended book. The price…is remarkably reasonable given the thought and expertise that went into this book.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 8/3/2015ƒƒMoving into technology use by age groups, Gold presents recommendations and discusses pitfalls for kids as young as two up to young adulthood….Gold…has a proactive approach to the topic and helps parents contextualize technology as both an appropriate and positive park of growing up.
