An easy-to-implement guide to help parents raise tech-savvy children with healthy and safe online habits from the start.

Today’s youngest children are experiencing technology more intensely than any generation before them. The opportunities are great—but so are the dangers. How do parents and educators prepare this new generation to be safe and responsible online? How can they raise young children with a healthy digital balance?

In Technology for Littles, parent, practitioner, and founder of Digital Respons-Ability Carrie Rogers-Whitehead combines decades of research on child development with practical tools for parents to help them raise healthy, responsible, and safe internet users at home. And because schools don’t typically start digital literacy until third grade or older, this book focuses on helping parents of younger children implement online safety at home from the time a toddler first picks up a smart phone.

Packed full of songs, strategies, resource lists, and more, Technology for Littles equips parents to fearlessly tackle tech and create habits and routines that will help children grow to be healthy yet tech-savvy humans in a digital world.

Carrie Rogers-Whitehead is the founder of Digital Respons-Ability, a mission-based company that has taught tens of thousands of parents, students, and educators around the world. Carrie is an adjunct instructor, former librarian, and regularly consults and trains on technology, online safety, education, parenting, and more. She is an award-winning author of seven books, most recently Deepening Digital Citizenship: A Guide to Systemwide Policy and Practice. Carrie lives with her family in Utah.
