Two Veteran Teachers Expose How Technology Overuse Is Making Our Kids Dumber—and Offer Practical Solutions for Parents

In their new book, Two Veteran Teachers Expose How Technology Overuse Is Making Our Kids Dumber, authors Jennifer House and Ann Elise Bergen draw on their decades of experience in the classroom to provide a comprehensive look at the impact of technology on our children's cognitive, social, and emotional development.

House and Bergen argue that while technology can be a valuable tool for learning, it can also be a major distraction and impediment to our children's success. They cite research showing that excessive screen time can lead to problems with attention, memory, and problem-solving. It can also contribute to anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
