GET SOCIAL WITH KIDS: HOW TO RECLAIM CHILDHOOD WITH TECH-FREE PARENTING IN THE DIGITAL AGE eBook : Press, PK: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store

08/24/2023

In an era captivated by screens and swipes, "Get Social with Kids" presents an inspiring journey towards redefining parenthood in the digital age.

We as parents themselves delve deep into the heart of a growing concern — the dwindling elements of a cherished childhood. The pages unfold with a poignant portrayal of how modern kids are missing out on the simple joys of creative play, authentic friendships, and the luxury of unstructured time.

Central to this narrative is our own experience. Faced with the sight of children engrossed in digital devices, we decide to act. Within our own home, a transformational experiment unfolds, leading to astonishing results in a matter of days. Our own daughters, freed from screens, rediscover the art of imaginative play and genuine communication.

But our journey doesn't end here. Driven by a passion to share this transformation, we formed: www.socialkids.ca. This platform becomes a haven where likeminded parents gather, sharing ideas, seeking support, and accessing a wealth of off-screen activities that breathe life into genuine childhood experiences.

"Get Social with Kids" isn't just a manual; it's a beacon of optimism. It echoes with narratives of change, resilience, and the remarkable impact of simple actions. Rooted in personal experience, the book serves as a guide for parents eager to embrace tech-free parenting and rekindle the spirit of unhurried childhood.

Each chapter extends an invitation to recalibrate. Through relatable anecdotes, insightful reflections, and pragmatic advice, the authors provide a roadmap that navigates the challenges of technology while fostering the unstructured moments that define genuine childhood.

"Get Social with Kids" is a compelling invitation to reshape the way we nurture the next generation. It embodies the power of intent, offering guidance that not only celebrates real-world connections but equips parents to cultivate a legacy of treasured memories, authentic bonds, and the timeless value of unstructured play. Join us on this transformative expedition, and let's together redefine childhood for the future.

You can buy this first book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CG7SW5KX
