An easy-to-follow guide that will help parents understand recreational screen media use at home.
Recreational screen media use is quickly replacing family time, by no
fault of parents. They are doing the best they can based on the
information available to them, which claims nothing can be done to stop
their children's screen dependence.
Parents seeking change need a new framework for action. Breaking the Trance
does not blame parents nor vilifies technology, but it does give
parents clear and effective strategies to implement immediately. The
results will restore a sense of care and connection within the family.
“Screen dependence is real and destructive to developing personalities
and brains. With wit, grace, and startling science, George and Cynthia
bring you the facts you need to know, along with—most
importantly—practical solutions for every parent. A must-read!”—Thom Hartmann, author Walking Your Blues Away: How to Heal the Mind and Create Emotional Well-Being
“If
you are a parent, grandparent, or anyone who cares about kids and their
ability to become responsible, happy adults at some point, you should
care about the valuable information in this book. The authors’ balance
real-life case stories, research, and common sense about how to tackle
the monster that has crept into every family and relationship—that
tantalizing screen—and provide explanations and simple tools that are
both encouraging and empowering to move from identification to action.
In addition, there is enough information and guidance in this book to
help schools work effectively in tandem with the families they serve to
help young people (and their parents) find specific ways to connect,
grow stronger, and develop the skills necessary to lead fulfilling,
meaningful lives.”—Jackie Booth, PhD, Parent, grandparent, and lifelong educator
“Take
heart, parents! It’s not too late. Read this book. As an expert in the
¬field of Internet addiction, I was delighted with this book and found
the material fresh and practical. It will help parents as they try to
cope with child rearing in the digital age.”-Hilarie Cash, PhD, LMHC, Founding Member, Chief Clinical Officer, and Education Director for reSTART Life
“Mr.
Lynn, thank you for this book! Following your guidance gave our son the
time he needed in his life to show us who he actually was —going from
an anxious child who loved video games (yet was literally afraid of
everything, even the wind), to a straight A, college-bound high school
student and honor society member.”-Lorri Dixon, mother of an amazing teenager on the autism spectrum
