Download or read book Screenwise written by Devorah Heitner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Screenwise offers a realistic and optimistic perspective on how to thoughtfully guide kids in the digital age. Many parents feel that their kids are addicted, detached, or distracted because of their digital devices. Media expert Devorah Heitner, however, believes that technology offers huge potential to our children-if parents help them. Using the foundation of their own values and experiences, parents and educators can learn about the digital world to help set kids up for a lifetime of success in a world fueled by technology. Screenwise is a guide to understanding more about what it is like for children to grow up with technology, and to recognizing the special challenges-and advantages-that contemporary kids and teens experience thanks to this level of connection. In it, Heitner presents practical parenting "hacks": quick ideas that you can implement today that will help you understand and relate to your digital native. The book will empower parents to recognize that the wisdom that they have gained throughout their lives is a relevant and urgently needed supplement to their kid's digital savvy, and help them develop skills for managing the new challenges of parenting. Based on real-life stories from other parents and Heitner's wealth of knowledge on the subject, Screenwise teaches parents what they need to know in order to raise responsible digital citizens.

Download or read book Would You Rather Game Book for Kids written by Cooper The Pooper and published by Books by Cooper. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would You Rather Have a Fun Night Of Laughter and Bonding With Your Kids, Or Have Them Stare At Video Games For Hours? Let's face it: kids today spend way too much time in front of a screen. In fact, the Kaiser Family Foundation External calculated that, on average, children spend a whopping 7.5 hours in front of a screen for entertainment each day. Over a year, that adds up to 114 full days of staring at screens. And that's just the time they spend in front of a screen for entertainment. It doesn't include the time they spend on schoolwork. These numbers are alarming, and many experts on child development are urging parents to provide their children with some "non-screen" activity. Of course, if you're a parent you know that's easier said than done. Kids love video games because they're fun and challenge them to explore, team up, and express their creativity. That's exactly why our unique dog author, Cooper the Pooper, came up with a fantastic game of 'Would You Rather' -- a thought provoking conversation game! In Would You Rather Game Book For Kids, you'll discover: ● 200+ 'Would You Rather' questions that provide hours of fun for the entire family ● Geniously designed questions that make you choose between two evils, and explain your choice -- an incredible way to get your kids to express themselves ● 50+ creative questions about the human body, which will make your kids interested in science and roll with laughter at the same time ● 50+ superpower questions -- discover how your kids perceive the world and whether they would choose between being super smart or being super strong ● Challenging scenarios and questions that will make your kids stop and think, as well as develop logic skills and empathy ● A perfect way to cure boredness during long road trips, sleepovers, family dinners, and weekend mornings And much more. Even though the questions and scenarios are designed for kids, adults will have just as much fun choosing between wacky, silly, and sometimes plain impossible choices. Besides being incredibly beneficial for your child's development, a 'Would You Rather' game is also a great way to reconnect, bond, and spend some quality family time. What better way to do that than to have countless hours of fun?
