Description
Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hijacking Our Kids - and How to Break the Trance
Dr. Nicholas Kardaras examines how technology, particularly age-inappropriate screen tech, has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Recent brain imaging studies show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person's developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can.
This book delves into the sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic factors involved in the global tech epidemic, with the goal of exploring its impact on kids. It also includes an opt-out letter and a "quiz" for parents to help them navigate this issue.
