Why Your Parents Are Hung-Up on Your Phone and What To Do About It

<''A wonderfully useful book, told with Dean Burnett''s trademark wit and wisdom'' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt, on Why Your Parents Are Driving You up the Wall and What to do About It

I’ll bet you and your parents argue about phones.

They probably say things like:‘Can you just put that phone down for one minute?!''‘You’ll get square eyes looking at that thing''‘I don’t know who you’re talking to all day!’Maybe you want one, but your parents don’t agree? Or maybe you do have a phone, but your parents think you use it too much?

Either way, the result is: arguments. Between you and your parents. About phones.

That’s why brain scientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett has written this book. He’ll show you why your parents are sometimes wrong about phones (and why, annoyingly, they can be a bit right), how you can both understand them a bit better and how you can stop arguing about them.

Because screens can be a good thing. And a bad thing. But they’re definitely not worth getting hung up about . . .<>
