Children and adolescents are often overwhelmed when they are left entirely responsible for their media consumption. The temptations and attractions are too great, and social connections are too important for them to willingly leave the digital paradise. Control and prohibitions cannot fundamentally change this. Children do not learn the right way to handle media from the media itself, but within the family. Detlef Scholz focuses on the crucial factors: the developmental stage and needs of the children, the benefits of using the internet and similar platforms, the example that parents set with their own behavior, and many other aspects that the experienced consultant examines for their impact on family life and coexistence. The author draws on insights from brain, learning, media, and family research and combines them with proven methods.
