What if screens weren't the enemy-but a powerful tool to help kids thrive?
Today's parents are caught in a digital tug-of-war. Screens are everywhere-but fear and guilt don't have to be. Beyond the Screen cuts through the confusion to show how technology shapes your child's brain, relationships, and well-being-and how you can guide their digital world with confidence and calm.
Written by a developmental psychologist, educator, and parent, this empowering guide blends real-life insight with the latest research to help you raise emotionally strong, tech-wise kids in a world that never powers down.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- What actually matters more than "screen time" (based on brain science)
- How to set boundaries that stick-without daily meltdowns or guilt
- The 3 key skills behind digital resilience-and how to teach them
- What to know (and do) about social media, gaming, and online pressure
Whether your child is just learning to swipe or already deep into social media, Beyond the Screen is your roadmap to clarity-not more rules. Because the goal isn't to unplug-it's to raise kids who know how to live well, online and off.
Jason S. Daniels, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Education at Concordia University of Edmonton. His research explores how digital media use relates to learning, emotional regulation, and well-being, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults.
He is the author of Beyond the Screen and The Amplified Mind: How Digital Life Shapes the Way Kids Think, Feel, and Learn. Drawing on developmental and educational psychology, his work examines both the opportunities and challenges of digital life. He emphasizes moving beyond screen time alone to consider the habits, relationships, and environments that shape development, helping parents and educators support young people’s capacity to think, learn, and navigate an increasingly digital world
