Parents often worry about raising kids in a tech-saturated world - the threats of cyberbullying, video game violence, pornography, and sexting may seem inescapable. And while these dangers exist, there is a much more common and subtle way that technology can cause harm: by eroding our attention spans. Focused attention is fundamental to maintaining quality relationships, but our constant interaction with screens and social media is shortening our attention spans - which takes a toll on our personal connections with friends and family and our ability to form real relationships.

Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World guides parents in teaching their children how to reap the benefits of living in a digital world while also preventing its negative effects. Mike Brooks and Jon Lasser, psychologists with extensive experience working with kids, parents, and teachers, combine cutting-edge research and expertise to create an engaging and helpful guide that emphasizes the importance of the parent-child relationship. They reject an "all or nothing" attitude towards technology, in favor of a balanced approach that neither idealizes nor demonizes the digital. Brooks and Lasser provide strategies for preventing technology from becoming problematic in the first place; steps for addressing problems when they arise; and ways of intervening when problems are out of control. They also discuss the increasingly challenging issue of technology use in schools, and how parents can collaborate with educators when concerns arise over kids' use of technology.

A must have
I thought this was going to be a waste of money but I couldn't have been more wrong. I purchased this for a piece of furniture and after about two and a half years the piece started falling apart. So again I thought I was wasting my time but I called them up and the person that answered the phone was the kindest and the most understanding person. I proceeded to tell her why I was calling and of the issues I was having and within just a couple minutes and just a couple more questions I had an Amazon gift card for the amount of the full purchase price, I received a full refund. And this was after two and a half years. The bottom line is you can not go wrong with the Asurion 3 year Protection Plan. A MUST HAVE!!!

Quick & Efficient
Asurion was great and was able to provide me with a refund quickly since my product was defective after just 1 year. I’d give it 5-star, but the website and the submission process is a bit clunky.

Quick response
Almost as soon as I described my problem with the screen I purchased, I was approved for a refund in the defective product. Excellent customer service. I have used Asurion many times but this was my first claim. Keep up the good customer service.
