Summary

A charming, meticulously researched, and illuminating look at how technology infiltrates every aspect of raising children today, filled with helpful advice parents can use to best navigate the digital landscape, and ultimately learn to trust their own judgment。

There’s an app or device for nearly every aspect of parenting today: monitoring your baby; entertaining or educating your toddler; connecting with other new parents for tips, tricks, and community—virtually every aspect of daily life。 But it isn’t a parenting paradise; the truth is much more complicated。

The mother of two young daughters, journalist Sophie Brickman wondered what living in a tech-saturated world was doing to her and her children。 She turned to experts, academics, doctors, and innovators for advice and insight。 Baby, Unplugged brings together Brickman’s in-depth research with her own candid (sometimes hilarious) personal experience to help parents sort through the wide and often confusing tech offerings available today and to sort out what’s helpful and what’s not。

Filled with relatable and entertaining stories as well as practical takeaways, Baby, Unplugged is destined to become a touchstone for parents today, giving them the permission to forge their own path through the morass of technological options, to restore their faith in themselves, and to help them raise good, social, and engaged people in the modern world。

This book is both informative and entertaining。 I think we are all searching for balance in this fast paced era of technology, internet, and social media。 Most importantly when it comes to children this has never been more important。 I am someone who often looks to science and research and this book is a wealth of that。 This book would make a fantastic gift for any new or expecting parent。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my advanced copy。

This is a great book for new parents or soon to be parents, wondering about technology with their kids。 I’m not a big fan of it, so it kind of validated what I was saying all along but it did look at it in detail, with lots of research, which I appreciated。 I also appreciated that she explained what she used with her own children and why, it made it more relatable。

A lot of information in one book。 It might be a bit overwhelming for new or expecting parents。 However I love the author’s willingness to try and test different products and give honest feedback。 I also loved the personal stories。
