Many theories that form the bedrock of good parenting were created decades before devices even existed -- they don't consider the significant impact on a child's psychological and physical development. But the landscape of the early years has changed beyond recognition since then: screens have invaded every aspect of our lives, and parents and caregivers do not have access to the evidence-based, practical advice they need to manage this invasion. They can see their children become addicted to devices, but don't know what to do. Generation Zombie fills this knowledge gap. Through her clinical work as a psychotherapist, work with schools and as a duty of care psychologist, Dr Charlotte Armitage has witnessed the terrifying impact of screen time on her clients and their families. However, unlike other addictions, the harmful consequences of devices are not widely recognised. With the vital insights in her book -- including practical tips and engaging case studies -- her mission is to enable parents to make a positive change. Away from devices, you will be amazed how quickly you notice children's behaviour change.
