She wondered about the impact of all this screen time and the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time.

Through insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions for empowering kids to navigate the digital world and find balance.
