Overview

Our children are becoming more and more exposed to technology and social networking communities everyday and at such a very early age. iPods, iPads, Androids, iPhones, Laptops, Xbox, Facebook, and more are overwhelming our children on a daily basis and they are becoming more dependent on these gadgets than ever before. In school, work, and home, technology is taking a far greater influence over our children than family values. How can we balance parental control, Internet safety, and healthy lifestyles with such rapidly growing tools when they are being used and given to our children everywhere they go? Whether you’re a parent or a grandparent, this short, but informative handbook can help guide you through the ever-changing world of digital online technology. Kat Mahoney shares her tips, resources, and information over 20 years in the industry on how we can co-exist positively while raising children in the technology and video game generation.
