Brain and Screens

The book to understand and prevent the effects of early and poorly managed screen exposure in childhood

The significant impact of early screen exposure in childhood and the lack of control during adolescence is a global concern. It is crucial to equip families and educators with the knowledge, data, and practical guidelines needed to prevent improper screen use. However, there is little interest in exposing the
harmful effects of technology; many studies are biased due to conflicts of interest with sponsoring companies, making reliable research in this field scarce.

In response to this gap, renowned educator María Couso conducted an exhaustive analysis, compiling her extensive knowledge and the most up-to-date, well-supported conclusions. The result is a book that offers effective strategies to address and correct negative behaviors associated with screen
use, even in a world where technology is deeply embedded in our homes and classrooms.

Couso’s perspective, enriched by a neuroeducational approach, connects the fundamentals of brain function with her arguments about screen use. In this engaging and timely read, she covers everything from attention loss to the effects of screens on sleep, emotional development, and interpersonal communication, as well as issues ranging from mobile phones and video games to social media and pornography.

In an era where the educational system must reconsider the role of screens
in the development of children and adolescents, this book is a must-have guide.
