In 52 Ways to Connect with Your Smartphone Obsessed Kid, author Jonathan McKee offers just the help you need to have meaningful interaction with your kids instead of always overreacting to their unhealthy consumption of technology and media. In a world where over 80 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds now own a smartphone, parents are searching for ways to pry their kids' eyes from their devices and engage them in real, face-to-face conversation. Mckee—drawing from his 20-plus years of experience working with teenagers, studying youth culture, and raising three teens of his own—provides an abundant supply of useful tips and creative ideas to help you bond with the Smartphone Generation.

      Author and speaker McKee (The Guy's Guide to God, Girls, and the Phone in Your Pocket) has some solid ideas for communicating with young teens without taking the phone away and being viewed as the enemy. From spontaneous fro-yo outings to strategically playing dumb to more involved, far-reaching plans, such as purchasing a hot tub, McKee's suggestions strive to start conversations that will let kids feel are self-initiated and without judgment. The author also points out "how teenagers struggle to look up from their devices" but recognize that mom and dad have the same challenge. VERDICT While the material might not be groundbreaking, the tips are valuable. Libraries needing an update to the subject area will find this a worthy addition.
