In a world where screens are everywhere—from the crib to the college dorm—raising children who use technology without being consumed by it is one of parenting’s greatest challenges. Screens and Souls offers a research-driven, compassionate guide for navigating digital life without fear-mongering or unrealistic “tech-free” ideals. Drawing on neuroscience, developmental psychology, and the realities of modern family life, it provides a clear framework for helping kids grow into thoughtful, emotionally resilient, and digitally literate adults.

Each chapter focuses on a critical stage of childhood and adolescence, revealing how screens influence attention, attachment, creativity, language, and mental health. You’ll discover why reciprocal gaze in infancy builds a stronger brain than any app, how algorithm-driven feeds can narrow a teen’s worldview, and why constant notifications shape our nervous systems in ways we rarely notice.

Rather than offering quick fixes, Screens and Souls equips parents, educators, and caregivers with tools for modeling healthy digital habits, creating family tech boundaries that stick, and fostering the self-awareness kids need to manage devices on their own. It dismantles the myths of “good” and “bad” screen time, focusing instead on intentional, balanced use that honors both the human need for connection and the power of thoughtful technology design.

For any parent who feels caught between digital anxiety and digital dependence, this book provides clarity, empathy, and a practical path forward. By blending science with real-world strategies, Screens and Souls helps families reclaim their attention, restore deeper relationships, and raise kids who are not only tech-capable—but tech-wise.
