"It was great to hear from like-minded and passionate people during Office Hours with Emily in the T.I.M.E. Collective. I sometimes feel like I am one of the few with my eyes open to the dangers that can come with too much tech, although I know I am not. I am hopeful that we can grow the group and the movement towards responsible, ethical and humane tech for our families. "

Emily's work has changed the trajectory of my family's life. As I told her, she is a bad influence in the best way because I abandoned social media in exchange for my real life. The truth is I stopped numbing myself with social media, stepped into my real life, and realized how much I was missing. What I have learned from Emily has changed everything. Emily's book is real, raw, and relatable.

In an increasingly polarized world, it's refreshing to hear an argument that neither glorifies nor vilifies technology. Cherkin's concept of 'tech intentionality' will be an incredible support for overwhelmed and under-informed parents struggling with the incursion of technology into their family. Engaging, alarming, well-researched, and ultimately incredibly helpful, The Screentime Solution should be handed out to all new (and existing) parents. I could not recommend this book more.

From the moment I opened this book I knew we, as parents, were in clear, sensitive and non-judgmental hands. There are few, if any, decisions we make as parents that will define our family values and shape our children’s brain development and long term social and emotional health, as how we handle screen exposure. I am not ‘anti-screen,’ but I am passionately ‘pro-human connection,’ and in The Screentime Solution, Emily will guide you into taking small, sensible and doable steps to come to your own judgments that will build deep family connections and leave you with a feeling, ‘I can do this.’

Emily Cherkin's THE SCREENTIME SOLUTION is an invaluable practical guide to parenting in the age of screens. As a consultant, teacher, and parent, Cherkin offers down-to-earth advice about the questions that vex parents everywhere, from when and how to introduce kids to smartphones, to how to ensure kids are allowed to flourish in the presence of social media platforms that are designed to ensnare them. A hugely valuable resource.

Books and blogs are flooded with myths and misconceptions about how screens impact our children’s wellbeing. Emily Cherkin is a refreshingly honest and accurate voice in a sea of confusion and denial. The Screentime Solution is an essential book for any parent who is about to give a child a smartphone, or who is already struggling with the consequences.

Articulating the importance of relationships combined with a clear understanding of research, Emily engaged our audience with her candor, humor, knowledge, and passion. She provided valuable strategies and clear concepts that can immediately improve a family's relationship with technology. She is approachable and ready to engage in whatever the moment requires, with great humanity, vast experience, and science-based research.
