Adult caregiver author talk event held at same time as Teen New Hobby Night in Teen Room.
Adult caregivers will attend an author talk from both Michael Shelby and Paul Teager as they discuss their book Reconnect: A personalized plan to protect your child from anxiety and depression fueled by digital addiction, and the strategies within it.
In today’s fast-paced digital world, few issues are as urgent-and as universally misunderstood-as the epidemic of anxiety and depression plaguing our youngest and most vulnerable. An epidemic with ties to digital addiction, ubiquitous screens, and 24/7 connectivity.
Despite mounting evidence of the emotional and psychological consequences, a practical, accessible, and personalized approach to understanding and addressing this crisis has been missing-until now. This groundbreaking book is the result of a unique collaboration between two leading experts in their fields: Paul D. Tieger and Michael Shelby. Their partnership brings together decades of insight from two distinct but deeply interconnected worlds-personality psychology and technology addiction treatment.
