by Don Pearson

“With the increased presence of social media and available technology, parenting has become a complex challenge. Kids used to be the outsiders growing up into our world, and now we often feel like the outsiders trying to get a foothold in their world. If your head is spinning, you need this book! It will help you come up to speed and transform your parental perspectives.”- Joseph M. Stowell President, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Michigan.PARENTS KNOW THAT TECHNOLOGY is accelerating and threatening to engulf their adolescents. Yet the magnitude and implications of today’s trends remain difficult to imagine. The heart, mind, and healthy gender of your child is at stake. Can young men enter the passive land of boys & toys without being trapped until age 30? Can young girls wield the power of social networking without cementing their personalities as controllers and manipulators?

iParent talks about the world of electronics with children, preteens, teens and young adults and how they interact with the world today. Most children don't commute face to face anymore. They go to school and as soon as they are out, their attached to their cell phones, computers and gaming systems. They then don't interact as much face to face as they truly should. Parents need to put a stand to how much interaction a child does with his peers and not let them spend all their time on these systems. It's alright for them do to some of these things for a limited time and get plenty of time interacting with others and family.

I recommend this book to all parents with children, no matter how old they are. It will always be great advice for any age, even for those that don't have children or teens to read when they are in collage. Even at that age, they need interaction.

This is a really helpful book for parents of teens, preteens, kids, etc. Talks about technology and what we don't know and also about gender blurring and how confusing things are for our kids. Highly recommend it.
