In this digital age, children are
spending more and more time interacting with a screen rather than a
parent. Technology has the potential to add value to our families, but
it can also erode a sense of togetherness and hinder a child's
emotional growth. In Growing Up Social: Raising Relational Kids in a Screen-Driven World,
you'll learn how to take back your home from an over-dependence on
screens. Discover the five A+ skills needed to give your child the
relational edge in a screen-driven world: affection, appreciation,
anger management, apology, and attention. Today's screens aren't just
in our living rooms; they are in our pockets. Now is the time to equip
your child to live with screen time, not for screen time.
Constant entertainment is not the goal of childhood. No phone, tablet,
or gaming device can teach your child how to have healthy
relationships; only you can. Growing Up Social will help you:
- Equip your child to be relational rich in a digital world
- Replace mindless screen time with meaningful family time
- Establish simple boundaries that make a huge difference
- Read what's working for the screen savvy family down the street
- Prepare your child to succeed down the road in relationships and life
- Learn healthy ways to occupy your child while you get things done

My Review:
growing up Social
By: Gary Chapman
Arlene
Pellicane
I love reading books by Author Gary Chapman. Anything i have
has always been very helpful. We all have to admit our homes have become high tech.
I s this helpful or is it hurting the family? TV, video games, cell
phones, I Pads, and computers. They are
spending more time with these things then going out to play and exercise and
fresh air.
Social interaction is lost. Kids young as 1 1/2 are being
allowed on these gadgets. Growing up
with a life of gadgets leaves kids not knowing how to interact with others.
They become loners. Gary Chapman has 5
A+ skills to get your kids back where they need to
be.
1. Equip your child to be
relationally rich in a digital world.
2. Replace mindless screen time with meaningful family time
3. Establish simple boundaries that make a huge difference
4. Discover what's working
for families that have become screen savvy
5. Learn healthy ways to occupy your child while you get
things done
It is to easy just to give these gadgets to your kids to
entertain them while you do things you need to do. Not good. Lets get our
children back. Set good boundaries for
our children.
I am sure you would enjoy this book. will be giving one copy away.
