How many hours each day should I let my kids play on the iPad? Are videogames rotting their brains? What do I do when they throw a tantrum every time I try to get them off the computer? In their new book, Tech Generation, Mike Brooks and Jon Lasser answer these questions and detail their Tech Happy Life Model, a plan that helps parents teach their kids how to use technology in healthy, productive ways and minimize its negative consequences. Dr. Mike Brooks is a licensed psychologist and director of the Austin Psychology & Assessment Center. He runs the website “Tech Happy Life” and is the co-author of Tech Generation.
