From addiction expert Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a startling argument that technology has profoundly affected the brains of children and not for the better. We’ve all seen them: kids hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends houses and the numbers are growing. Like a virtual scourge, the illuminated glowing faces the Glow Kids are multiplying. But at what cost? Is this just a harmless indulgence or fad like some sort of digital hula-hoop? Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids a form of interactive educational tool. Don’t believe it. In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis. Most shocking of all, recent brain imaging studies conclusively show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person’s developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can. Kardaras will dive into the sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic factors involved in the global tech epidemic with one major goal: to explore the effect all of our wonderful shiny new technology is having on kids. Glow Kids also includes an opt-out letter and a quiz for parents in the back of the book. Review Details how compulsive technology usage and reliance on screens can neurologically damage the developing brain of a child the same way that drug addiction can. Vice Glow Kids is a must-read for parents, prospective parents, educators and anyone interested in learning about how the screens we look at every day affect us. Dans Papers Every parent and teacher and those who work with youth should read this book to be informed about the downside of what many of us have seen as a tremendous advancement in civilization.

Glow Kids is a paradigm shifting, mind bending account of excess and tragedy that should serve as a clarion call to rethink our ever evolving relationship with advancing technology. Dr. Howard J. Shaffer, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Director, Division of Addiction, Cambridge Health Alliance In this important new book Nick Kardaras draws our attention to a growing problem - the addiction many children are developing to digital media.
