Teaches Parents to Learn What Their Children Already Know About Computers; Also Offers Information on Computer & Software Selection

Examines how parents can foster computer literacy in their children, encouraging creativity and strengthening problem-solving skills

Managing the digital gadgets, gizmos, and games that kids already own is often a challenge, and many parents find that a school-issued 1-to-1 device further disrupts an area in which there are already conflicts. 1-to-1 devices blur the lines between school and home, between work and play, between tool and toy. Many parents could use some help in setting boundaries. Written from the perspective of a family therapist who works to help families get to the heart of complicated matters, this guidebook addresses the home side of 1-to-1 programs. The book gives parents the language to keep conversations on track and provides the perspectives of other adults--educators and parents--who have addressed similar challenges.
