Age-appropriate ways to help kids question what they see online, without making them distrustful of everything.
Kids are growing up immersed in more information — and more misinformation — than any generation before them, often without any formal instruction in how to evaluate it. This guide gives parents practical, age-appropriate ways to build that skill at home.
Inside: age-appropriate ways to introduce questioning and evaluation without overwhelming a child, using real examples from a kid's own social media or search habits, balancing healthy skepticism with not raising a cynical kid who trusts nothing, and modeling the skill yourself since kids notice what parents actually do. A natural companion to the Parenting Through Every Stage series.

Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
