'A must-read for the tech-anxious generation' Pete Etchells, psychologist and author of Unlocked: The Real Science of Screen Time

'An essential, expert (and overdue) guide for any parent worried about how tech is affecting their children, but wanting to rely on science instead of paranoia' - Dean Burnett, neuroscientist and author

Should we ban screens? We are asking the wrong question - this is how we really keep our kids safe online.

'How much screen time is too much?' 'Could my child become addicted to their smartphone?' 'Why does every rule I set start a battle?' Children today are growing up in a world more connected than ever before, exposing them to dangers their parents didn't even imagine and raising questions they've never considered. But in our rush to protect them, we can do more harm than good; outright bans and rules deemed 'unfair' can push your child away, when what they need most of all is you.

Child psychotherapist and cybertrauma expert Catherine Knibbs has helped hundreds of families work together to build healthy boundaries around technology. In this science-backed guide, Knibbs sets out what the evidence really says about the risks and where your fears may be misguided, to empower you with the answers to make the right decisions for your family. You'll discover:

• How screens affect every stage of childhood and where the dangers actually lie
• The importance of keeping your child close and onside to protect them, with scripts to help you communicate positively and set reasonable boundaries
• Realistic advice to keep your child safe and develop a balanced relationship with technology, within and out of the home
• Tips on protecting neurodivergent children and understanding how tech can help them flourish

Grounded in evidence and full of relatable stories and practical tools, Tech-Smart Parenting is the essential book for any parent who wants to feel informed and confident in navigating the new digital childhood.
