Synopsis
From "The Gamer Educator", an openminded guide to parenting alongside screens and gaming, offering practical solutions to managing your family's screen time.​ Parents are feeling mounting pressure to minimize screen time, but are struggling to do so in our technologically driven world. In contrast to the fear and pressure parents are facing, Ash Brandin's Power On offers a calm and reassuring message that keeps the wellbeing of the whole family in mind. Power On powerfully reframes our current dialogue around technology, beginning with the morality placed on screen time and leisure, and the systemic factors contributing to it. Brandin replaces fear with empowerment, giving caregivers tools and strategies for safely incorporating tech into their children's lives, guiding children to having a healthy relationship with screens, with easy to implement approaches such as: ·The ABCs of the Screentime Management Elements – Access, Behavior, Content ·The Managing Online Safety S.T.A.R. – Settings, Time, Ads/App Store, Restriction ·The N.I.C.E. Screentime Boundaries – Needs, Input, Consistent, Enforceable ·And several other sets of steps, tools, and strategies to understand, manage, and effectively utilize tech in parenting. With today's parenting advice being awash with unhelpful negative judgements on screens and little realistic actionable advice, Ash Brandin provides timely, realistic direction that will empower readers to find a balance with screen time that works for the entire family.
