Dr. Uhls ends each chapter with summaries of the science, bottom lines for quick takeaways, and tips and guidance for parents. Each chapter delves into a different issue, so parents can easily turn to their own particular needs and skip what doesn't concern them.

Media Moms & Digital Dads offers parents reassuring and fact based guidance on how best to manage screens and media for their children.
