The New Childhood

The New Childhood: Raising Kids to Thrive in a Connected World by Jordan Shapiro is a book published by Little, Brown and Company in December 2018.[1][2]

First edition

Synopsis

Shapiro, who teaches at Temple University in the College of Liberal Arts,[3] became interested in childhood development and digital play following his divorce, after playing video games with his two sons.[4][5] He argues against strict screen time limits for kids,[6][7] suggesting instead that parents should teach their kids how to use digital devices with integrity.[5][8] He advises parents not to panic about new technologies.[6][9] He advocates for joint media engagement.[10][11]

His view that kids can only learn proper ethics for a connected world by spending more time with digital technology[12][13] has been controversial, causing writer Naomi Schaefer Riley to complain, "the idea that parents might forbid or severely limit their children's devices—or take the devices away altogether—is anathema to him."[4][10]
