        Plugged In staffer Asay (Beauty in the Browns) serves as editor of this guide for parents to learn how to shuffle through media options in a saturated world and discern what's best for their child. This book, which assumes a Christian worldview, notes that preteens and teens are engaging with screens for an average of four to seven hours a day. With movies, video games, music, social media, streaming services, and more having the power to influence people, it's even more imperative for parents to stay vigilant. This book shows parents how to set boundaries around screens in a process that moves from avoidance to caution to dialogue as children age. The three A's of being aware, alert, and available are emphasized. Questions are included so that parents can discuss how to encourage their children to ponder their own choices. VERDICT This title is aimed at Christian parents, but the book's tips will likely help most people concerned about their children's media usage and consumption.
