They want their kids to be competent and competitive in their  use of technology, but they also want to prevent the attention problems  that can develop from overuse. Lucy Jo Palladino shows that the key is  to help kids build awareness and control over their own attention, and  in this guide she gives parents the tools to do exactly that, in seven  straightforward, evidence-based steps. \u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003eParents will learn the  best practices to guide children to understand and control their  attention—and to recognize and resist when their attention is being  \"snatched.\" This approach can be modified for kids of all ages. Parents  will also learn the critical difference between voluntary and  involuntary attention, new findings about brain development, and what  puts children at risk for attention disorders.","brand":"Shambhala Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188853006679,"sku":"9781611802177","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/parenting-in-the-age-of-attention-snatchers-a-step-by-step-guide-to-balancing-your-childs-use-of-technology-9781611802177","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
