Avoiding Digital Age Parenting Pitfalls from Infancy to Teen Years — Public Edition

Roland Kim, Ph.D.

About This Book

A practical developmental guide to parenting from infancy through the teen years. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all rules, it examines common parenting approaches that may unintentionally interfere with emotional security, autonomy, resilience, and connection, and offers a more empathic and responsive perspective.

What You’ll Explore

Fifty parenting challenges across four developmental periods, including infant engagement, overprotection, routines, tantrums, boundaries, screen time, discipline, privacy, academics, bullying, gaming, substance use, communication, mental health, unrealistic expectations, and adolescent relationships.

Who This Book Is For

For parents and caregivers who want an accessible, practical guide to recognizing everyday parenting blind spots while strengthening empathy, communication, boundaries, and emotional connection as children grow.
