But it isn't a parenting paradise; the truth is much more complicated. </p> <p>The mother of two young<strong> </strong>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. <em>Baby, Unplugged</em> 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.</p> <p>Filled with relatable and entertaining stories as well as practical takeaways, <em>Baby, Unplugged</em> 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. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If you feel overwhelmed by your digital existence, definitely make time to unplug and read this book."--<em>Boston Globe</em><br><br>"Well-researched and unvarnished conclusions."--<em>Wall Street Journal</em><br><br>"<em>Baby, Unplugged </em>is a heartfelt, thoughtful, and warmly humorous odyssey through parenting in the Digital Age.
