About this listen

In a world dominated by screens, devices, and digital conveniences, essential life skills are quietly fading away. The Lost Skills: What Children Aren’t Learning in the Digital Age by Robert Varton delves into the alarming gap between the digital proficiency that today’s children possess and the crucial life skills that are slowly being forgotten. From handwriting and face-to-face social interaction to problem-solving without Google and navigating without GPS, this book explores the everyday competencies that are slipping through the cracks in the era of technology.

Varton sheds light on how over-reliance on digital tools is impacting children's ability to retain information, think critically, and engage with the world in a tactile, hands-on way. More than just identifying the problem, The Lost Skills provides practical advice, exercises, and solutions to help parents, educators, and caregivers nurture these vanishing abilities and empower children to thrive in a balanced, technology-enhanced but skill-enriched environment.

If you are concerned about the developmental impacts of the digital age and want to help the next generation rediscover the foundational skills that foster independence, resilience, and creativity, The Lost Skills offers the roadmap you need. Let this book remind you—and the children in your life—that there’s more to growing up than swiping and tapping.
