My Take on the Book
This was a great book that opened my eyes to how I, as a parent, should work with my own children in regards to how much and how they interact with technology. The book was well written and as a reader you are given so many tools to use with your own children. One of the things that I love about how this book is set up is in the appendices which were chock full of so much information and resources! All-in-all if you are a parent you must identify how technology is or will be impacting your children as it is somewhat inevitable. With that in mind I highly recommend this to one and all!
