Description

'Dean Burnett is the first old person who understands phones' Eleven-year-old Dermot, quoted in The Times

'A wonderfully useful book, told with Dean Burnett's trademark wit and wisdom' - Adam Kay on Why Your Parents Are Driving You up the Wall

“Can you get off your phone/ PS5/ Xbox!? NOW!” - Your parents (probably)

I bet that you and your parents argue about phones.

Maybe you want one, but your parents don’t agree? Or maybe you do have a phone, but your parents think you use it too much. Or even make you leave it downstairs at night when you want to scroll before sleep.

Either way, the result is: arguments. Between you and your parents. About phones.

Meet brain scientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett. He’ll show you why your parents are sometimes wrong about phones (and why, annoyingly, they can be a bit right), how you can both understand them a bit better and how you can stop arguing about them. You’ll learn about:

  • Why turning off TikTok can be so hard
  • How video games can change your brain for the better
  • How Snapchat can make us sad (and lots of other complicated feelings)

Because screens can be a good thing. And a bad thing. But they’re definitely not worth getting hung up about.
