The reality is that smartphones and screens now permeate every aspect of childhood, and while they offer connection and opportunity, they also present many challenges – even with Australia's world-first social media ban for under-16s. Screen Wise is the solutions-based guide for Australian parents and educators, offering a clear path through this global digital experiment. Parenting expert and bestselling author Madonna King has interviewed hundreds of parents, children, educators, police, medical experts and scientists across the country and internationally, for the first time presenting this valuable research with actionable tips and advice. Packed with relatable, real-life stories and practical advice, Screen Wise empowers you to understand and protect your children. Screens aren't going anywhere, but this guide shows you how to take back control to usher your children safely and confidently into the future.
