Left to Their Own Devices? Confident Parenting in a Digital World

A revised and updated resource for parenting in
the digital age
It’s no secret that we live in an ever-changing digital landscape.
Children and teens are growing up with technology at their
fingertips, whether it’s a toddler with an iPad or a teen with
their eyes glued to their smartphone. Parents may not like it,
but raising kids with modern tech is unavoidable. So how can
they make sure to do it right?
In this revised and updated fourth edition, Katharine Hill
explores the impact of the digital world on teens and kids.
She gives practical advice on screen time, social media, and
consumer culture without avoiding the tough conversations
around real internet dangers such as online bullying, grooming,
and pornography.
Left to Their Own Devices? is for parents of all stages and
experiences, whether cradling newborns or navigating the teen
years, strangers to Snapchat or avid social media influencers.
This accessible resource is for moms and dads who not only want
to manage bringing up children in a tech-saturated society but
who want to confidently parent in a world of screens.
