Given that children are the future they must be allowed to grow under a suitable environment without forcing them to grow too fast. Children need to enjoy their childhood and play a lot. The author touches on the influence of technology on children. How should be the way to educate and understand their behaviors and reactions. It is a general reading that will enrich your views. There will be ideas that you agree with and some that you won´t, but that's the beauty of all the books. The different points of view make you draw your own conclusions.
