Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds -- and What We Can Do About It
I gave this only 2 stars for the purpose for which I decided to read it. This book is more of an academic publication, than an approachable guide for parents. The majority of the book is written in a high manner that is not necessary (in my opinion) to accurately convey the author's thoughts. It largely just spouts off her research results and relays her personal experiences in a very judgmental manner. I'm not saying that you can't get anything of value from this book. But if you're just a normal parent, looking for an intelligent source that will help you thoughtfully approach how to guide the interaction your child has with technology (same as me), I don't believe this would be the right book for you.
