“Simple is not always obvious. Dr. Eitan Schwarz in “KIDS, PARENTS & TECHNOLOGY: A Guide for Young Families,” reminds all parents that the skills and care with which they guide their child through proper nutrition, hygiene and general human interaction are the same skills required to guide their child through the maze of modern media and technology.

This book is the tool parents need to provide good parenting in the 21st century.”
