About this listen

The Essential Self-Help Guide to Your Children Thriving in a Digital Age

FROM THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

The smartphone question: It's on every parent's mind. When is the right time? What are the risks and how can we protect our children from them? How do you balance screen time with family time? How can parents hold a firm boundary in a compassionate way? What can adults model healthy phone habits to set our children up for success? In The Smartphone Solution, highly respected child and family psychologist Dr. Martha Deiros Collado, answers these questions and more in her essential new guide to taking control of your family’s digital life and empowering your children to thrive in a connected world.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Age-appropriate guidelines for smartphone use so you can make a confident decision about when (and if) to give your child a smartphone.
  • Strategies and scripts for open and honest conversations with your children.
  • Practical advice on setting screen time limits and digital safety.
  • Ways to foster healthy relationships and strong family connections in a tech-driven world.

Don't let the smartphone debate overwhelm you. With a warm, practical, and non-judgmental approach, Dr. Martha provides clear and actionable advice. Equip yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to make informed decisions, protect children from having unregulated access to the internet in their pocket and raise tech-savvy, well-adjusted children.
