Book Reviews of Generation Text: Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in an Age of Instant Everything
Book Review: A "Must Read" for Teen Parents
Summary: 4 Stars
Informative and insightful book for raising teens today. It definitely opened my eyes to the dramatic differences between our generations. I had not really stopped to contemplate all the major technology changes in our culture since I grew up and how it has impacted our youth. While technology is making everything better, faster, and greater, those "improvements" are hampering our children's ability to function successfully in society today. This is a "must read" for any parent who struggles to raise a normal, balanced child in a world of excess!

In this culture of instant gratification and potential excess, parenting has become a bigger challenge than ever.Generation Text examines the ways in which children's identities are shaped by the world around them.and how, with an absence of meaningful barriers between impulse and the ability to act on them, parents can help children learn to make intelligent choices and manage the potential overload successfully.
