A MUST READ for every adult who cares about kids! The message in 'Face to Face' is simple yet profound: Increase actual face-to-face connection and keep childhood real so children will be resilient, healthy, and happy. Major focuses of the book include how digital technology is influencing children's lives and how resiliency and other social/emotional skills need special attention as parents navigate this new terrain. Authored by a team of pediatricians and educators (including the authors of the popular 'Raising Our Daughters' and 'Raising Our Sons' books), this book is a goldmine of neuroscience-based information: • How children's brains grow • Recommendations for being mindful about screen time and reducing busy-ness • Parenting with social/emotional learning (SEL) in mind • How to support children in building healthy friendships as well as in managing social group dynamics • Latest research on the key importance of connection and empathy in curtailing and reducing the harm of bullying • Best practices for fostering resiliency The recurring themes in each of 'Face to Face's' 7 chapters are: Stay Connected, Cultivate Empathy, Create Safe Havens, Walk the Talk, Take the Time, and Play/Create. These are the 'touchstones' 'Face to Face' recommends parents use to help kids navigate learning to master the art of face-to-face connection.
