Disconnected: How to Protect Your Kids from the Harmful Effects of Device Dependency
Kindle Edition
There's no denying the clear connection between overuse of devices--smartphones,
computers, and video games--and the growing mental health crisis, especially in our
children. Too much screen time has a real, measurable effect on kids' brains, self-
esteem, emotional development, and social skills. We aren't controlling our devices
anymore--they're controlling us.
In Disconnected, psychotherapist and parenting expert Thomas Kersting offers a
comprehensive look at how devices have altered the way our children grow up, behave,
learn, and connect with their families and friends. Based on the latest studies on the
connection between screen time and neuroplasticity, as well as the growing research on
acquired ADHD and anxiety, Disconnected presents a better way to move forward.
Kersting shares indispensable advice for parents on setting boundaries and engaging in
concentration and mindfulness exercises.
We see it everywhere: at the park, in restaurants, and inside our homes and cars - kids
connected to handheld devices and disconnected from the world around them. According
to the latest research, the average 13-year-old spends eight hours per day, seven days a
week, glued to a screen. Yes, this is problematic, but for every problem there is a
solution.
