Is social media ruining our kids? How much Internet activity is too much? What do FOMO (fear of really missing out), sexting, and selfies mean for young adults? Are you interested in what research says about how media and technology are impacting childhood? Supported by educational research focused on technology, Multimedia Mothers and Digital Dads breaks down complicated issues in a friendly, accessible fashion, which makes it a highly useful and finally reassuring listen for anyone worried about the impact that media might be having on young imagination. Dr. Uhls ends each section with a listing of the science, the bottom range for quick takeaway, and tips and information for parents. Each section delves into some other concern, so parents can certainly turn to their own particular needs and neglect what doesn't concern them.

As a trained scientist, she is aware of the attractive studies conducted by analysts, as a mommy of digital young adults she recognizes what really works and can relate with the reality of being a mother or father in the 21st century. Dr. Uhls also identifies the research she conducted at UCLA (thoroughly reported on in information outlet stores such as The New York Times, NPR, and Time Newspaper), including her studies about fame and social media and about if the intensive time we stare at monitors impacts nonverbal psychological understanding.
