Overview

Do you worry your child is addicted to their phone? You're not alone. This timely, honest, and deeply reassuring guide explores the real causes of screen overuse in both children and adults. Instead of offering phone settings, apps or limits that don't work, it poses a radical new question: What if the phone isn't the problem? What if it could actually help? As such, Our Friend, the Phone is more than an exploration into screen addiction in children. It is a gentle, practical book for parents who feel overwhelmed. With simple, step-by-step instructions, real-life examples, and tools you can use today, it helps you learn how to use your phone - and then teach your child to use theirs - in safer, smarter, more loving ways. It turns the phone from a source of stress into a trusted partner in parenting ...because even a glowing screen can light the way home. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Addiction, Dependency or Necessity?
