Publisher's Synopsis
The author states that smartphones can serve as a tool to facilitate positive parenting, since 'they enable ongoing emotional communication, instead of merely providing technical communication. Through their use, we may fulfill our roles as better parents, even in this modern and demanding world. What follows in this very useful guide is the many techniques for using the smartphone age of communication to the advantage of parenting. Many clever, and even ingenious, suggestions are offered in a warmly supportive manner - ideas that will change that 'ominous specter' of cellphone addiction and instead turn that ever-present device into a beneficial form of rearing an emotionally healthy child.
In this book, the author presents common situations in family life where parents are at work and wish to provide their children with support, help, or be part of their experiences, while also ensuring their wellbeing remotely. Through real-life examples from parents, the author shows useful solutions through the use of a smartphone. This book suggests a broad range of ways of creating communication that brings families closer by showing the true potential rather than the downside usually attributed to this technology, in order to promote and aid our family goals.
