Reviews for (Be Smart About) Screen Time!: Stay Grounded, Set Boundaries, and Keep Safe Online

"""Dealing thoughtfully with a thorny, ever-evolving subject, this book will help shore up conversations about screen time and internet usage. Illuminating and instructive, the book is a first line of defense for parents and educators wanting to spark discussion or reinforce their established rules. Necessary guidance for kids starting to navigate smartphones and social media.""--Kirkus Reviews Praise for Consent (for Kids!): A 2020 Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Kids Book * ""Small-but-mighty.... A book to own and refer to, often.""--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for The Worry (Less) Book: * ""This entertaining, appealing, and friendly guide will be immensely helpful for readers of all ages.... Excellent and absolutely necessary.""--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * ""Excellent.... Brian's sense of humor, evenhanded acceptance, and gift for analogies (anxiety is represented as a gloppy gray mass with googly eyes and stick arms) make the book fun and informative. Those who are prone to anxiety will find practical advice about dealing with it, while those less familiar with it will learn to recognize it in others and what they can do to help.... Easy to understand and entertaining."" --School Library Journal, starred review * ""Amusing, edifying, and empowering, this should be required reading for all consenting, corporeal human beings.""--Booklist, starred review"
