Parenting has always involved balancing love, protection, and guidance. Today, that balance is tested in new ways as children grow up surrounded by screens. From preschoolers exploring tablets to teenagers living through social media, the digital environment shapes habits, friendships, and health. Digital Parenting Reset: Managing Stress in the Age of Screens provides parents and caregivers with evidence-based insights and practical strategies to support children while reducing household stress. This book, part of the Parenting & Family Stress Series, emphasizes resilience and clarity rather than fear. Instead of portraying technology as harmful, it explores both benefits and risks. Parents will learn how to encourage creativity, education, and connection while addressing common struggles such as excessive screen time, exposure to inappropriate content, and online conflict. Key areas of focus include: The science of screen time: current research on physical, emotional, and social effects. Healthy boundaries: how to create realistic rules, tech-free zones, and shared routines that promote balance. Tools for management: guidance on parental controls, monitoring apps, and ways to apply them as supportive aids rather than intrusive surveillance. Digital literacy: steps for teaching online safety, privacy skills, and responsible participation in social media. Family balance: integrating technology into positive activities, encouraging offline hobbies, and building stronger relationships. Adapting to the future: preparing families for new platforms and trends by fostering openness and adaptability. Case studies throughout the book highlight real-life families facing challenges with screen time, communication, and digital boundaries. Each chapter concludes with clear takeaways, giving parents quick reference points to guide decisions. This format makes the book useful not only for individual readers but also for librarians, educators, and parenting programs seeking reliable resources. The tone remains supportive and practical. Readers are invited to shape strategies that fit their own homes, rather than follow rigid formulas. By focusing on collaboration, communication, and modeling healthy behavior, parents can create an environment where children learn to see technology as a tool for growth rather than a source of conflict. For library collections, Digital Parenting Reset fills an essential gap. It combines research, developmental psychology, and family practice in a way that is approachable for general audiences yet valuable for professionals. Topics such as cyberbullying, online safety, digital stress, and healthy family routines are presented with clarity and compassion, ensuring broad appeal. Ultimately, this book equips parents with confidence to embrace digital life wisely. By resetting expectations and stress responses, families can restore balance, foster resilience, and build healthier patterns for the future.
