Help is here. 
Right Click helps you think and talk differently about digital media, as you learn from inspiring and creative parents like you who navigate these ever-changing waters day after day. 
Drawing from the best research on media and youth, as well as our own conversations with parents and teenagers, Right Click offers new breakthroughs for your most pressing tech-related dilemmas. 
* How to teach your kids to use social media responsibly.* How to set limits on when, where, and how much you use devices in your family--without isolating your kids from their friends.* How to handle the tough stuff: inappropriate sharing, bullying, and porn. * How to make digital media a force that knits your family together rather than ripping you apart at the seams.
Right Click equips your family to approach this new connected world like a team. It helps you develop relationships, not rules. Supervision, not surveillance. And best of all, a plan that works without making media--or you--the enemy.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"My favorite thing about this book is that it doesn't take a doom-and-gloom approach to technology. It recognizes the bad parts AND the good parts, providing a road map for the future."  --Jon Acuff, New York Times Bestselling author of Do Over

Review:

The cry of every parent and church leader in this generation is "How do I help create media-safe homes?" Right Click is a wonderful resource that gives practical answers to the most-often asked questions about how to handle social media. I loved the sections on setting limits and the importance of dealing with bullying and porn. This is my go-to book for parents. --Dr. Jim Burns, President, HomeWord, author of Confident Parenting

As parents of two teenage boys, Right Click couldn't be more timely or relevant for us. We're so glad to discover it. This highly accessible book is not only grounded in research, it's immeasurably practical. If you're a parent, you'll want to read this book--and you'll be a better parent because of it!  --Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

As parents, we find ourselves living on the "digital frontier." Like the pioneers who crossed the country to settle the Wild West, every step we take into this new technological landscape moves us further and further into uncharted territory. Figuring out how best to navigate the journey for our kids and for ourselves is not an option for parents; it's a necessity. Right Click will serve you as a wise and valuable tool in your digital parenting toolbox. --Dr. Walt Mueller, President, Center for Parent/Youth Understanding, author of Understanding Today's Youth Culture

Many parents don't even know what a "digital native" is, much less what to do about them. But this one thing is certain: if you have a teenager, you already have one living in your home. They're so far ahead of most of us on the digital frontier that we need some shortcuts to keep up. Right Click offers some of those shortcuts to time-tested principles for not just understanding how your kids relate to the digital world, but also why, offering today's parents the practical tools you need. --Reggie Joiner, CEO of Orange and reThink Group, author of It's Just a Phase--So Don't Miss It

As a parent of teenagers, this is the book I wish I'd had ten years ago before smartphones and social media challenged the skillsets of parenting. The first wave of trials and triumphs have come to pass, and Right Click captures the best wisdom and research to help future parents stand on the shoulders of those who have come before. Steal their wisdom and read this book; you'll be glad you did. --Mark Matlock, Executive Director, Youth Specialties, author of Real World Parents
