Read Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and Find Balance By Katherine Johnson Martinko Full Books Online in HD Quality

Ditch the devices and bring back the magic of being a kid

Screens are everywhere. Kids spend an average of 7.5 hours on digital devices every day, not including when they're in school. The impacts of this are profound, and yet cutting screen time can seem impossible in today's world.

Childhood Unplugged serves up a wealth of practical solutions for creating healthy boundaries around the use of digital media within the home. Drawing on her own experience as a mother of three, plus interviews with digital minimalist families, educators, and child development experts, author Katherine Martinko presents:

Meticulously researched analysis of the impact of excessive screen time on children's physical, neurological, emotional, and social development The benefits of reduced screen exposure, including more time spent outdoors, higher levels of physical activity, increased confidence, self-esteem, and empathy, and more creative play Inspiration for caregivers who may find it challenging to deviate from cultural norms and are overwhelmed by the thought of severing ties with the digital babysitter Age-appropriate advice for fundamental change regardless of where one lives, with specific sections for babies and toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents. Taking a nonjudgmental approach, Childhood Unplugged is a lifeline for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who questions the role of digital media and yearns for the young people in their life to experience the profound beauty and magic of childhood.
