This book is a precious gift to kids, parents, and modern society as a whole. It's full of compassion, practical solutions, and impressive empirical evidence. I believe that children’s screen time is one of the most consequential—yet misunderstood—challenges facing our collective future. Dr. Rich has given us the definitive guide to raising balanced and happy human beings in this age of ubiquitous distraction.
