Description

Bad for You: Exposing the War on Fun! This book asks a simple question: is everything that's considered "bad" for kids actually bad? Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham explore the long-standing campaign against fun, tracing its roots back centuries to ancient Greece. They examine the science behind modern concerns like social media and violent video games, and present a compelling case for why kids need to be allowed to have fun. Through eye-grabbing graphics and engaging text, Bad for You debunks myths and misconceptions about childhood, revealing a more nuanced understanding of what's truly important for young people. By examining the history of this "war on fun", the authors give kids - and parents - the power to make informed decisions about their own lives. With its unique blend of research, humor, and insight, Bad for You is a worthwhile read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of childhood in the 21st century.
