But a workable solution seems elusive. After all, don’t kids need phones, and won’t they be vulnerable or socially isolated without tech?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClare Morell, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and director of its Technology and Human Flourishing Project, argues that the answer is no. She exposes the lies parents have been sold about managing the dangers of tech through parental controls and screen-time limits, and demonstrates that another way is possible—even if your children are already using smartphones or social media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tech Exit maps a doable pathway to freedom from digital technology for families, local communities, and society. Drawing on dozens of interviews with experts and with families who have gone tech-free, as well as Morell’s own work as a policy expert, The Tech Exit shows how digital technology is anything but necessary for children to live happy, healthy, and socially full lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tech Exit is essential reading for any parent who has felt stuck between an awareness of the dangers of digital technology for kids and the feeling that tech is necessary and inevitable. Clare Morell’s message is simple and compelling: You and your family can be free. The life you want for your children is within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Escaping the Trap of Harm Reduction\u003cbr\u003e1: Screen-Time Limits Aren't Working Out\u003cbr\u003e2: Parental Controls Are a Myth\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Fast\u003cbr\u003e3: Trying Out a Screen Detox\u003cbr\u003ePart III: FEAST\u003cbr\u003e4: Find Other Families\u003cbr\u003e5: Explain, Educate, and Exemplify\u003cbr\u003e6: Adopt Alternatives\u003cbr\u003e7: Set Up Digital Accountability and Family Screen Rules\u003cbr\u003e8: Trade Screens for Real-Life Responsibilities and Pursuits\u003cbr\u003ePart IV: Collective Solutions\u003cbr\u003e9: Getting Screens Out of Schools\u003cbr\u003e10: Parents Need Better Laws to Back Them Up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forum Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40957550821411,"sku":"9780593736296","price":52.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_5698.jpg?v=1758691050","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/tech-exit-a-practical-guide-to-freeing-kids-and-teens-from-smartphones","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
