Kids today are hooked on screens! Screens come in the format of tablets, cell phones, laptops, desk tops, video game consoles and hand-held gaming devices. Young kids, 'tweens and teens are all-consumed by social media, video games, texting, taking selfies, live streaming, watching endless videos and more. At school, screens are used for math and language review, reading books, testing, word processing, games, watching videos, during small group work and at recess time. For most kids, all this adds up to 6 or more hours of time on screens every day. As a parent, you may be wondering if all this screen time is OK for your child, and how much is too much? If your child is reluctant to put down the screens at home and engage in other healthy activities (like reading) then this book is for you. In Hooked on Screens, Dr. Carroll shares her innovative strategies to break screen obsession in your child and instill an appreciation and desire for healthy activities that can turn into life-long pursuits. She shows you how to use reading to engage your child's mind while increasing family communication and activity, and simultaneously decreasing unwanted anti-social behavior, aggression, isolation, arguing and procrastination in your child. She provides an easy-to-follow, five step system that even the busiest parents can implement with immediate, positive results. There are also plenty of success stories and testimonials from parents just like you who have used these steps to stop nagging their children to put down electronic devices and instead create productive habits through alternative activities (such as creating a personal vision board!) that kids love. She even includes a robust Resources section for further exploration. If your child is on screens too much, or if you even think he or she may be, this book is for you!
