A new book for tweens co-written by Catherine Price and Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation. Written for tweens (5th-8th grade) and relevant whether or not they already have smartphones or social media accounts, the book is an empowering guide to living a life that's not hijacked by a smartphone. It's meant as a companion to The Anxious Generation; it comes out December 30th — and it's available for pre-order now!
I'm SO EXCITED about this!!! I have a 16 year old (who doesn't have a phone yet btw hahaha), and run an org that gets teens outside throughout the school year, screen free. I can't wait to share this with the families we serve.
This is much needed! Parents and kids need to be educated on this important subject. This looks just like the Kids’ Brains and Screens book that I have from ScreenStrong, another excellent resource for teens and parents. You should consider collaborating with them! I know they have been doing similar work for over a decade.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have forwarded this to everyone in my mom group and school community and intend on getting a few copies for the school library. It is also being released on my daughter's 10th birthday which sure feels like a very happy coincidence. Truly, thank you for this, we are all so grateful!
Also your preorder page only links to Amazon US website. You may want to update it for a global audience as I can see it's available to preorder on the Amazon UK site directly from 30 Dec but that's not clear from the Anxious Generation website preorder link. I've ordered my copy!
This is SO needed and I can't think of a better collaboration! We get asked from parents ALL THE TIME for a book for their tweens to read and now we can say YES! Pre-ordered!

Congrats! Pre-order is placed. My son finished fourth grade today and it'll be so helpful to have this book while he's in the throws of fifth grade!
Thank you for your efforts and your ability to translate challenging social problems to fun solutions.

Your post and your book announcement were MY delight of the week! So glad this will exist just as my eldest starts Year 5!
