A world without smartphones, social media, and AI is unimaginable. At the same time, many parents feel uncertain, and daily struggles over screen time, social media apps, and online dangers are a constant in families' lives. Elisabeth Koblitz explores the challenges families face in a digital world and offers practical approaches and well-founded strategies for navigating digital media. As an experienced journalist and mother of three, she investigates how to guide digital natives in using smartphones without resorting to extremes. She interviews psychologists, cybercriminologists, media educators, and, most importantly, the children themselves. This guide provides clear insights on how to handle social media, smartphones, and AI responsibly.
