Written by renowned expert, Tanya Goodin – author, podcaster, public
speaker, and founder of the ‘Time to Log Off’ movement.
Digital wellbeing is all about finding the balance between the digital world and the real world – and
making sure we use smartphones and other digital devices in a healthy way, while living fulfilling
lives beyond the screen.
This must-have guide will help tweens and teens do exactly that, inspiring them to set their devices
aside and start living in the here and now. Written by trailblazing author, pioneering thinker and
campaigner on tech ethics and digital wellbeing Tanya Goodin, it’s packed with positive prompts,
inspiring quotes, and hands-on activities to encourage healthy habits around screen use – like
hands-on crafts, phone-free nature excursions, a retro tech scavenger hunt, and lots more.
It’s not about teenagers giving up their devices forever; it’s about being more mindful of how they
use them, so they can live their best lives – on and off the screen. The Teenage Guide to Digital
Wellbeing is essential reading for teens navigating the digital world, plus the adults who care for
them and want to understand how they can support, while also being more mindful of their own
digital use.
Teenagers will discover how to:
• Develop healthy habits, identify
priorities, and set achievable goals
• Know their own screen limits and
deal with digital distractions
• Stay safe and savvy on the internet
• Nurture friendships and family
relationships offline and on
• Build resilience and self-confidence
to live healthily and happily with
their digital devices
• Focus on the positive and productive
uses of smartphones (no more
doom-scrolling)
