Overview

In today's fast-paced digital world, few issues are as urgent-and as universally misunderstood-as the epidemic of anxiety and depression plaguing our youngest and most vulnerable. An epidemic with ties to digital addiction, ubiquitous screens, and 24/7 connectivity. An epidemic exposed and exacerbated by COVID isolation. We are witnessing an explosion of anxiety and depression, not only among children and teens but also among their parents. Entire families now navigate their days isolated, tethered to screens, often unaware of the toll this takes on mental health, relationships, communication, and self-worth. Parents and children are simply talking to each other in different languages-when they talk at all. Despite mounting evidence of the emotional and psychological consequences, a practical, accessible, and personalized approach to understanding and addressing this crisis has been missing-until now. This groundbreaking book is the result of a unique collaboration between two leading experts in their fields: Paul D. Tieger and Michael Shelby. Their partnership brings together decades of insight from two distinct but deeply interconnected worlds-personality psychology and technology addiction treatment.

As a person who's been immersed in the world of personality type for more than 25years, the parent of a 17-year-old son (ENTP) and 15-year-old daughter (ESTP), and someone who's acutely aware of the negative impact of digital technology on children, ReConnect comes along at exactly the right time! It offers an antidote to thedisconnection so many families are experiencing by showing parents how to build healthy, trusting relationships with their kids-including the full range of different personalities! Rob Toomey, President of TypeCoachBy combining their respective areas of expertise - Tieger's: personality, and Shelby's: treating digital addiction - the authors have created a unique framework that helps parents and therapists collaborate to better understand the child's potential mental health vulnerabilities and customize treatment to be effective with very different types of children. Highly recommended.
