How much video gaming is too much? At what age do you give a child a cell phone? How do you teach responsible use of texting and social media? Parenting has always been hard enough. In the age of the internet, it can seem overwhelming. There are too many decisions, and they change so rapidly that even well intentioned parents just can't keep up. Outgunned by the pace of change, many have simply given up. They hand their children electronic devices, and hope for the best. In Adrift in the Digital Age, Dr. Mehegan argues that this is a mistake. More than ever, today's children need guidance. Someone needs to filter the torrential flow of stimulation for this wired up generation. If parents don't do it, then who will? Starting with a review of the principles of clear and consistent behavior management, Dr. Mehegan demonstrates how parents can lay a foundation at young ages which they will be able to adapt to both the challenges of today and the variants of those challenges which are certain to be just around the corner. The internet is here to stay. It falls to parents to see that it is woven into the lives of their children in a manner consistent with the values of the family.
