Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Unplug
J. D. Ph D. Strohman · 2015
80/100
👍 Worth It
Two doctoral-level authors with clinical and forensic psychology backgrounds writing specifically about the generation raised on digital devices — this is a more rigorous foundation than most screen-time books offer, and the practical strategies for parents are grounded in real expertise. Some platform-specific details have aged since 2015, but the neurological and psychological core of the argument remains relevant. Parents navigating screen time with kids will find this more substantive than the typical genre title.
