Have iPads replaced conversation at the dinner table? What do infants observe when their parents are on their smartphones? Should you be your child's Facebook friend? These are all questions that are asked in the world today, questions which adults (also known as digital immigrants) would not be asking themselves a generation ago. Everyday life is undergoing a massive transformation and the digital world is here to stay.
Renowned clinical psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair explains that families are in crisis around this issue, and even more so than they realize. Her latest book, The Big Disconnect identifies the current reality of our lives, family and relationships as we are focused on the glow of the screen. This excellent read reminds us that it is time to look with fresh eyes and an open mind at the disconnection we are experiencing from our extreme device dependence. It's never too late to put down the iPad and come to the dinner table.
