The New Childhood ???

The overuse of technology has overtaken drugs, sex and bullying as the biggest parental worry, according to the annual Brigham Young and Deseret News American Family Survey.

But what are we actually supposed to be doing about it?

Jordan Shapiro, a Temple University professor whose background is in philosophy and psychology, has a prescription that might surprise you. In his new book, The New Childhood, his argument is that we're not spending enough screen time with our kids.

"One of the things I suggest in the book is that kids should be starting on social media much younger," he says. And, play more video games with your kids, too.

In other words, we're supposed to give in to what these bastards are doing to our children?

No thanks!
