With empathy and insight, Devorah Heitner sheds light on how parents’ scrutiny and monitoring of teenagers can intensify the stress of growing up with social media.”—Lori Gottlieb, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eMaybe You Should Talk to Someone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween social media, constant connection, and addictive tech and smartphones, the boundaries of privacy are stretched thin. We can track our kids’ every move with apps, see their grades within minutes of being posted, and fixate on their digital footprint, anxious that a misstep could cause them to be “canceled” or even jeopardize their admission to college. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this adds pressure on kids, particularly Gen Z, who are coming of age immersed in social media platforms that compete for their attention and emphasize “personal brand,” “likes,” and “gotcha” moments. How are kids supposed to figure out who they really are with zero privacy and constant judgment? \u003ci\u003eGrowing Up in Public\u003c\/i\u003e shows us that by focusing on character, rather than the threat of getting caught or exposed, we can support our kids to be authentically themselves. The key is mentoring, not monitoring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on her extensive work with parents and schools as well as hundreds of interviews with kids, parents, educators, clinicians, and scholars, Heitner offers strategies for parenting our kids in an always-connected world. With relatable stories and research-backed advice, \u003ci\u003eGrowing Up in Public \u003c\/i\u003eempowers parents to cut through the overwhelm to connect with their kids, recognize how to support them, and help them figure out who they are when everyone is watching.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49322799759664,"sku":"BDh30y","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/525070-h30y-Square.jpg?v=1733489735","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h30y","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
