Synopsis

A judgment-free guide for parents who want to better understand and balance family screentime in the digital age. Author Emily Cherkin—aka The Screentime Consultant—has written a compelling and necessary book about parenting in the modern digital age. Unlike any previous generation, children’s excessive screen use today at home and at school impacts mental health and family relationships. Parents have concerns about the amount of time children spend on devices and want to do better. They’re just not sure what to do or where to start. In The Screentime Solution, Emily teaches parents to become “tech-intentional”: using screen-based technologies to enhance, nurture, and align with family values while avoiding, delaying, or limiting screentime that interferes with healthy mental, physical, cognitive, and emotional development. With humor, empathy, and experience, Emily invites parents to • become tech-intentional, without feeling judged, shamed, or blamed; • implement her research-supported, developmentally appropriate tools to find screentime balance; and • build a movement around tech-intentionality (this is good for everyone— children and adults alike). The Screentime Solution will remain useful even as technology changes because being tech-intentional is an approach that can—and should—remain a constant.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. As a child therapist I love the IDEA of this book. I have clients right now whose parents are struggling with this very thing. But I couldn’t help but feel like this book was filled with radical opinions and lacking in factual informati......more

Goodreads review by Olivia on August 13, 2024

She’s talking to the wrong generations. While I do feel like there are useful strategies for tackling the screen time challenges families face these days, I couldn’t help feeling extremely frustrated by all of the 80s nostalgia and focus on the GenZ/GenX parent child-relationship. This book was publ......more

Goodreads review by Trisha on January 09, 2024

I found The Screentime Solution by Emily Cherkin to be very interesting, well-researched, and packed with practical tips and tricks for avoiding excessive screentime. Cherkin includes sections about child development and what is appropriate for children at each stage in terms of screen usage. The au......more

Goodreads review by Lindsay on December 07, 2023

Thank you for the opportunity of trusting me with a review. I have a hyper active son and a family member that loves to critique and comment on his screentime that we allow. So I loved reading what the real experts say about screentime. Although I knew a lot of these points because I have looked int......more
