    <![CDATA[A teenage boy goes shopping on the Internet, sees something he likes, immediately reaches his mother via cell phone, and in a few short keystrokes, types in her credit card number and gets a shiny new lacrosse stick. Thanks to technological advances including computers, the Internet, cell phones, and satellites, today's children are faced with a world markedly more complex--and often distracting--than that of any other preceding gener­a­tion. Generation Text examines why and how this phenomenon shapes children's values, attitudes, and behavior in a way that is fundamentally different from previous genera­tions...and provides strategies for coping with the particular challenges of growing up in the new millennium. Parents who want to ensure that their children successfully devel­op key social skills, a healthy identity, and a strong work ethic need to make the right choices every step of the way. Clini­cal psychologist Dr. Michael Osit draws on his professional--as well as personal--experiences working with children and teens who have been challenged by unprece­dent­ed access to information, possessions, and temptation. Using case studies and examples, the book provides reasonable, down-to-earth strategies readers can use to address the unique issues faced by children surrounded by infinite choices...and very few limits.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book.  I wish I had more time to spend on it.  I ended up flipping through the chapters.  A lot of info on the psychological effects technology has on kids, their behavior, even bullying.]]></body>
