Praise for The Upside Of Digital Devices

- The National Parenting Center

“The Upside of Digital Devices is a good, easy, and quick read with the premise that it is not beneficial to just limit the amount of screen time. Instead, we need to educate ourselves with information and knowledge to better enable us to teach our children to be “screen smart.”

- Salim Ismail, Founding CEO of Singularity University, Chair of ExO Works, Best-Selling Author of Exponential Organizations, and former Vice President of Yahoo!

“Nicole is the world’s leading expert on how kids can and should interact with media and screens so that they bring their higher-order thinking to bear. For every adult who’s wondered how to talk with children about digital devices, this is the book that can change the parenting and teaching paradigms around screens.”
