Publisher's summary

A charming, meticulously researched, and illuminating look at how technology infiltrates every aspect of raising children today, filled with helpful advice parents can use to best navigate the digital landscape, and ultimately learn to trust their own judgment.

There’s an app or device for nearly every aspect of parenting today: monitoring your baby; entertaining or educating your toddler; connecting with other new parents for tips, tricks, and community - virtually every aspect of daily life. But it isn’t a parenting paradise; the truth is much more complicated.

The mother of two young daughters, journalist Sophie Brickman wondered what living in a tech-saturated world was doing to her and her children. She turned to experts, academics, doctors, and innovators for advice and insight. Baby, Unplugged brings together Brickman’s in-depth research with her own candid (sometimes hilarious) personal experience to help parents sort through the wide and often confusing tech offerings available today and to sort out what’s helpful and what’s not.

Filled with relatable and entertaining stories as well as practical takeaways, Baby, Unplugged is destined to become a touchstone for parents today, giving them the permission to forge their own path through the morass of technological options, to restore their faith in themselves, and to help them raise good, social, and engaged people in the modern world.

Easy listening, high impact

I loved the material and the combination of both a narrative and a reporter-like approach. Often got me laughing and learning at the same time. Much appreciated insights about parenting in this technology-infused world.

Great info and perspective, very funny and sweet as well

Really loved the book. Covered a huge range of technology that is available or that likely impacts our/our children’s lives whether we like it or not, when and how some of it can be helpful, and maybe more importantly, all the things that we either shouldn’t waste time and energy worrying about or that we should probably try to avoid/limit. But more so than other books related to raising children, it is hilarious, making it a highly enjoyable read on top of being very informative. It is also very sweet and heartwarming at times. Highly recommend.
