Goodreads review by Rachel

This looks to be a great book for kids and their parents/adults to read together. Despite being "digital natives," children of the '10s and '20s still need guidance to navigate digital spaces and technology in a healthy way. I appreciate that the author wrote the book with input from her children wh......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca

Read this with my 11yo and we both appreciated Rachel Brian's light-hearted way of addressing serious topics. Each chapter offered opportunities for us to talk about how to set and support reasonable limits for screens and technologies that are becoming more and more present in our day to day life.......more

Goodreads review by Christen

These helpful ideas should have been put in place in my house. I had no idea. I did so many things wrong out of ignorance. I should have taught my daughter how to play with the computer and the phone using good etiquette and enforcing good boundaries. I really bumbled my way through this teaching ex......more

Quotes

Praise for Consent (for Kids!):
A 2020 Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Kids Book

* "Small-but-mighty.... A book to own and refer to, often."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Dealing thoughtfully with a thorny, ever-evolving subject, this book will help shore up conversations about screen time and internet usage. Illuminating and instructive, the book is a first line of defense for parents and educators wanting to spark discussion or reinforce their established rules. Necessary guidance for kids starting to navigate smartphones and social media.”—Kirkus Reviews

* "Amusing, edifying, and empowering, this should be required reading for all consenting, corporeal human beings."—Booklist, starred review

Praise for The Worry (Less) Book:

* "This entertaining, appealing, and friendly guide will be immensely helpful for readers of all ages.... Excellent and absolutely necessary."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* “Excellent…. Brian’s sense of humor, evenhanded acceptance, and gift for analogies (anxiety is represented as a gloppy gray mass with googly eyes and stick arms) make the book fun and informative. Those who are prone to anxiety will find practical advice about dealing with it, while those less familiar with it will learn to recognize it in others and what they can do to help.… Easy to understand and entertaining.”

—School Library Journal, starred review
