“There are downsides to social media that people need to step back and evaluate, so that we can have healthy interactions with it, and so that we don’t unintentionally hurt ourselves or hurt someone else.”

Whether you grew up with a phone in your pocket, or like the author, lived your adolescence without one, this book will help open your eyes to what it means to keep humanity in a world where technology leads.

★★★★★

Certain convos with your kids can be hard enough but throw in the topics of social media & bullying and it feels virtually impossible. This book is a great starting point to open up a dialog with your kiddos (and probably yourself) about their online world and how to deal with the people who use it for not great reasons.
