Recenzje

"His advice is easy to implement and leavened with humor: "We also found that without some structure, our well-intentioned Sunday family time quickly turns into fight-with-your-brothers-all-afternoon time (shoot me now)." The result is a trenchant and hopeful guide for parents anxious about the impact of technology on their children's development." Publishers Weekly
