For parents, teachers and educators of children and teenagers.

The book informs about regulatory enactments, possible security measures and actions that may be necessary to prevent risks or respond accordingly. It sets out the views of education professionals on the need to find an appropriate balance between the needs of children and adolescents and the restrictions required as precautionary measures to protect children and young people from the risks of excessive use of media and screen devices.
