Learn More About Connecting

With so many news stories and research studies about adolescent technology use, concern about children and teens’ use of social and digital media has gone from merely high to nearly frantic Drs. Moreno and Radesky, pediatricians and leading experts on technology and digital media, argue that parents need help, not hype. 

In Connecting, they provide practical guidance, rooted in strong parent-child relationships, minus fear and shame. Moreno and Radesky discuss how to promote healthy tech use at home and how to normalize parents’ own struggles with media use. As pediatricians, the authors address the most common health concerns related to technology and digital media, including sleep, mental health, and physical activity. Connecting will help calm and empower parents to navigate technology in the way that best works for their own families with less guilt and anxiety.
