Breaking the trance : a practical guide for parenting the screen-dependent child

Breaking the trance A practical guide for parenting the screen-dependent child

George T. Lynn, 1945-

Book - 2016

Screen media use (accessing digital content on tablets, cell phones, etc.) is quickly replacing traditional family time, and there is an accepted reality that nothing can be done. With few resources available, many parents are challenged to make the best decisions for their families. Breaking the Trance does not blame parents, nor vilifies technology as a whole, but rather provides easy and effective strategies to implement immediately. Ultimately, parents will be able to establish a screen control plan based on their own family's values that works and can be enforced.
