GLOW KIDS – Book to Read

As a parent, have you ever wrestled with decisions about how much screen time your child should have?  Have you ever thought about when I should let them use a phone, TikTok, or other social media?  Have you ever considered if your child might be addicted to screens or what might happen if your household took a two-week break from screens?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you might want to check out a book called “Glow Kids,” which draws on years of research to examine the effects screens are having on our children.  It is very eye-opening to see the damage that screens and screen addiction can have on kids in our society.  If any parent woudl like advice when it comes to handing technology-use at home, please let me know.
