Generation Text Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in an Age of Instant Everything by Dr. Michael Osit - I usually don't read non-fiction, but the principal of Peter's school recommended this book in one of his newsletters, so I decided to check it out. It's a must read for any parent who is fighting the onset of this new technological age of cell phones, texting, ipods and ieverything else. He talks about how our socially accelerated culture is driving children to ever younger exposure to a fast moving world. He talks about parenting realistically in this culture of choice, and his ideas will help any parent to make decisions that are best for their own children and family. I like that he acknowledges that everyone is different, and I think he advocates parenting with a lot of thought, heart, communication, honesty, open-mindedness and love. Hmmmm....maybe I could write a book! If you had to read one book of this parental-advice-in-the-new-millenium genre, this is the one I'd recommend.
Thank you for your kind review. The message in my book is an important one for all parents. I would love to bring my talk/book signing tour to your child's school. Feel free to contact me for more information.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
