"I think I will keep a stack of Jonathan's Parenting Generation Screen in my car to hand to parents I dialogue with each week . . . because it deals with the exact issues they ask me about: When do I give my kids a phone? Should I let them have it in their bedroom? How much social media is too much? I love the wisdom and practicality Jonathan brings to his books . . . and wish I had this one five to ten years ago!"
