Disconnected

How to Reconnect Our Digitally Distracted Kids

By: Thomas Kersting

Narrated by: Jonathan Coleman

We see it everywhere: at the park, in restaurants, and inside our homes and cars - kids connected to handheld devices and disconnected from the world around them. According to the latest research, the average 13-year-old spends eight hours per day, seven days a week, glued to a screen. Yes, this is problematic, but for every problem there is a solution.

In Disconnected, renowned psychotherapist and longtime school counselor Tom Kersting explores the device-dependent world our children live in and how it is impacting their mental and emotional well-being. Research shows that too much time in the cyber world is re-wiring kids’ brains, affecting their ability to flourish in the real world as anxiety, depression, and attention issues soar.

Thankfully, it is not too late to save our children. Kersting provides simple strategies to help reduce screen time as well as a host of meditative and mindfulness techniques to help our kids reclaim their brains, and their lives.

Great book!

This is a book every parent must read to help their children become successful adults.

A great message

This book will hopefully make great impacts in families all over.
The author's ego, patriarchy & Christian hegemony are a bit hard to look past when going through chapters.
The main messaging overall is very important, highly valuable & meant to increase quality of life.

Must Read

I appreciate how straightforward he is coupled with personal stories and credible research, I am grateful for his important work.

Recommended reading for parents

The speaker is a bit tedious, but the information in this book is great. I encourage everyone to read it and to take action to stop living in a world of screen zombies who pretend to be "connected," but the reality is the opposite.

Must read for all parents.

This is a very thoughtful book. I like the fact that the author has practical experience and is not just a researcher.
