Rooted in original research and the author's experience working with thousands of kids and families, this book provides parents of young children ages eight and under with accessible and easy-to-implement strategies to raise tech-savvy children with healthy and safe online habits from the start.
An easy-to-implement guide to help parents raise tech-savvy children with healthy and safe online habits from the start.
Today's youngest children are experiencing technology more intensely than any generation before them. The opportunities are great-but so are the dangers. How do parents and educators prepare this new generation to be safe and responsible online? How can they raise young children with a healthy digital balance?
In Technology for Littles, parent, practitioner, and founder of Digital Respons-Ability Carrie Rogers-Whitehead combines decades of research on child development with practical tools for parents to help them raise healthy, responsible, and safe internet users at home. And because schools don't typically start digital literacy until third grade or older, this book focuses on helping parents of younger children implement online safety at home from the time a toddler first picks up a smart phone.
Packed full of songs, strategies, resource lists, and more, Technology for Littles equips parents to fearlessly tackle tech and create habits and routines that will help children grow to be healthy yet tech-savvy humans in a digital world.
