An urgent and insightful investigation into the collapse in youth mental health, from the influential social psychologist and international bestselling author.
In this book, Haidt makes a compelling argument that the loss of play-based childhood and its replacement with a phone-based childhood that is not suitable for human development is the source of increased mental distress among teenagers.
Sexting, cyberbullying, revenge porn, online predators… all of these potential threats can tempt parents to snatch the smartphone or tablet right out of their children’s hands. While avoidance might eliminate the dangers, that approach also means your child misses out on technology’s many benefits and opportunities. We love how this book empowers kids to navigate the digital realm and gives useful tips for busy families to slip into daily routines.
We all know how easy a ‘Google oops’ can happen and it only takes a few taps on smartphone for a curious child to find an endless supply of hard-core, violent and addicting porn. This book is a great resource to help porn-proof our kids, it makes a difficult discussion easy and empowering. A junior version is also available for ages 3-6.

If your child is between the ages of nine and twelve, you are in the throes of the ‘between’ years. Not quite a child and not yet a teenager, tweens embody a very specific stage of development one that is the most rapid period of development since toddlerhood.
Michelle compassionately guides parents through their children’s friendship issues, mood swings, confidence crises, technology habits, sibling rivalry, body image concerns and seemingly inexplicable behaviour. She provides invaluable practical advice and groundbreaking research from leading organisations to reassure parents that tweens are ready to be switched on to their potential and can change the trajectory of adolescence, and every trusted adult in their lives can be a part of that process.
