From smartphones to video games, from texting to Snapchat, media technology provides an infinite source of information, stimulation, and opportunities for communication. This environment brings our children into a cyber culture that has a profound impact on how they understand themselves and is changing the way our children socialize and communicate. How do we best use this powerful resource to enhance our lives? How do we keep it from shaping our children and undermining the values we want to impart?
This mother-daughter team shows parents how kids are using and abusing media technology and helps parents set balanced, realistic guidelines that bring the internet into alignment with family schedules and values.
Sharon Maxwell, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, educator, and practicing clinical psychologist. Chelsea Maxwell, Ed.M, is an educator, specializing in curriculum development. Together they bring their courses and workshops to parents and students internationally.
