‘I commend Charlotte for not sugar-coating the mess we find ourselves in now. Every parent needs to read this book.’ Dr Rebecca Foljambe, GP and founder of Health Professionals for Safer Screens

‘It is never too late to make changes and put things right. If we recognise the problem of device use, we can regain control of our families and allow our children to grow up as they should.’ Dr Charlotte Armitage

Many theories that form the bedrock of good parenting were created decades before devices even existed – they don’t consider the significant impact on a child’s psychological and physical development. The landscape of the early years has changed so quickly, yet parents and caregivers do not have access to the evidence-based, practical advice they need to manage this invasion of screens. They can see their children become addicted to devices, but don’t know what to do. Generation Zombie will fill this knowledge gap.

Through her clinical work as a psychotherapist, work with schools and as a duty of care psychologist, Dr Charlotte Armitage has witnessed the terrifying impact of screen time on her clients and their families. However, unlike other addictions, the harmful consequences of devices are not widely recognised. With the vital insights in her book – including practical tips and engaging case studies – her mission is hopeful and empowering; to enable parents to make a positive change. Away from devices, you will be amazed how quickly you notice children’s behaviour change.

Reviews

'Dr. Charlotte Armitage takes us on a journey of discovery to present to us how screen-time entwines itself into every aspect of our lives from birth onwards, sometimes with catastrophic effects on relationships and development when used without boundaries or true understanding. This book is a sobering and fascinating that is completely relevant to the time we live in.' - Stephanie Trower, Early years practitioner and mother of 4
'I commend Charlotte for not sugar-coating the mess we find ourselves in now, with children's excessive use of screens. Charlotte is straight-talking in this book, firm yet compassionate, and deeply child and family-centred. We are all in this 'generation zombie' and as adults we need to take a hard look at where we are and why. Every parent needs to read this book and let Charlotte's expertise guide them through the discomfort of the realities we face, then the achievable and practical solutions to change things.' - Dr Rebecca Foljambe, GP and founder of Health Professionals for Safer Screens
'Navigating parenting in a digital world is tricky; Charlotte makes the science easy to understand, the advice practical and relatable. An absolute must for everyone - not just parents - who want a better relationship with technology for themselves and their family.' - Arabella Skinner, Director of Safe Screens
