Be the parent, please : stop banning seesaws and start banning Snapchat : strategies for solving the real parenting problems / by Riley, Naomi Schaefer,author.(CARDINAL)468839;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-240) and index.Introduction: Screen time -- What we don't know can't hurt us -- Babies aren't meant to be Einsteins -- Are you preparing your child for school or Las Vegas? -- Drop the call... and the phone while you are at it -- The price of internet access is eternal vigilance -- Think American education can't get worse? Put iPads in the classroom -- Just say no -- Less technology, more independence."Screens are seductive. We see it in our toddlers, begging for tablets. We see it in our pre-teens, leading double lives on Tumblr. We see it in ourselves, too, as much of our time gets sucked into news feeds and emails. From a parenting vantage, technology has been the holy grail, allowing us to outsource the unpleasant tasks and give ourselves a break. No clean-up after painting when it's done on a tablet. No complaints of "I'm bored" on a road trip when there's a game-loaded smartphone. No screams when you have to take a call if the kids are absorbed in a screen rather than running around the house. But, as many parents have guessed from their distracted, sedentary, and incessantly anxious-about-what-might-be-going-on-without-them kids, there some things you just can't out-source: you have to be the parent."--Book jacket

The family firm : a data-driven guide to better decision making in the early school years / by Oster, Emily,author.(CARDINAL)551883;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-294) and index.Introduction -- A sample case application: Red shirt, green shirt, school-entry age -- The family toolbox. Creating the "big picture" ; The four fs ; The efficiency frontier -- Big data. Sleep ; Childcare and parental work ; Nutrition ; Helicopter, chicken, tiger, ostrich -- The data studies. School: overview. Application: One child at private school ; Extracurriculars: overview. Application: Sleepaway camp ; Feelings; overview. Application: Is my kid the mean one? ; Entertainment: overview. Application: The right age for a phone -- Conclusion."In The Family Firm, Brown professor of economics and mom of two Emily Oster offers a classic business school framework for data-driven parents to think more deliberately about the key issues of the elementary years: school, health, extracurricular activities, and more. Unlike the hourly challenges of infant parenting, the big questions in this age come up less frequently. But we live with the consequences of our decisions for much longer. What's the right kind of school and at what age should a particular kid start? How do you encourage a healthy diet? Should kids play a sport and how seriously? How do you think smartly about encouraging children's independence? Along with these bigger questions, Oster investigates how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics. Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Parents of this age are often still working in baby mode, which is to say, under stress and on the fly. That is a classic management problem, and Oster takes a page from her time as a business school professor at the University of Chicago to show us that thoughtful business process can help smooth out tough family decisions. The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think clearly--and with less ambient stress--about the key decisions of the elementary school years. We all know parenting is a full-time job, so maybe it's time we start treating it like one."--
