Book Reviews

As the Principal of a school that has successfully implemented a smartphone policy to ensure pupils remain focused and engaged while on site, I understand the challenges families face in managing the digital world. Navigating the Digital Jungle is an invaluable resource for parents who want to create a healthy balance between technology and childhood. This book provides practical tips, expert insights, and ready-to-use scripts for starting crucial conversations about smartphones, online safety, and mental well-being. It addresses key issues such as managing FOMO, tackling cyberbullying, and understanding the impact of screen time on children’s development. The strategies outlined in this guide align closely with the principles we uphold in schools: fostering resilience, encouraging meaningful connections, and empowering children to thrive without constant reliance on devices. Whether you’re navigating concerns about social media or exploring how to introduce digital literacy at home, Navigating the Digital Jungleoffers the tools you need. For any parent striving to raise emotionally intelligent, digitally responsible children, this book is an essential companion. It mirrors the values we promote at school—creating a safe, distraction-free environment where young people can focus on learning, personal growth, and forming real-world connections.

Navigating the Digital Jungle is a brilliant guide for parents, carers, and educators grappling with the challenges of raising children in today’s tech-heavy world. Packed with practical advice and warm encouragement, it strikes the perfect balance between being informative and approachable. The book covers an impressive range of topics, from setting screen time boundaries and managing online behaviour to tackling more serious concerns like cyberbullying and sextortion. What makes it stand out are the included scripts—ready-made conversation starters that make tricky discussions with children feel natural and manageable. What’s particularly refreshing is the emphasis on balance. Technology isn’t demonised; instead, the book highlights its potential for learning and connection while offering strategies to avoid its pitfalls. Whether it’s tackling FOMO, encouraging offline activities, or understanding the influence of algorithms, every chapter is full of actionable insights. For parents feeling overwhelmed, this book is a lifeline. It’s less about controlling your child’s digital life and more about guiding them to navigate it safely and confidently. Educators will also find valuable takeaways for supporting digital literacy and resilience in schools. Warm, practical, and empowering, Navigating the Digital Jungle is a must-read for anyone wanting to feel less lost in the digital age.

“What I love about this book is that it helps start what parents already know are essential conversations. Parents want to talk to their children about their use of technology, they want their children to be safe online, but they just don’t always know where to start. It can be especially difficult for parents who don’t have the knowledge around the tech itself or the language. And it doesn’t help that even for those who are more connected with technology that it's ever evolving, you can get to grip with one area and then before you know it a new trend has taken off! All of these factors create barriers, and this book helps to break these down with the essential knowledge, conversation starters and general communication tips to help parents have informative, purposeful and impactful conversations with their children about their use of technology. A must-read for any parent.”

This is a wonderful guide! “Navigating the Digital Jungle” is an invaluable guide for parents seeking to raise healthy, confident children in today’s tech-infused world. Tackling topics like online safety, screen time, cyberbullying, and smartphone use, it equips parents with practical tools and clear, conversational scripts for meaningful discussions with their children. What truly sets this book apart is its balance—acknowledging the benefits of technology while emphasising the need for boundaries and digital literacy. Chapters on empathy, resilience, and the dopamine effects of digital use provide a holistic approach to parenting in the digital era. This book is a reassuring companion for parents navigating complex issues and striving to create a balanced, fulfilling digital environment for their families. A must-read for any parent who wants to confidently guide their children through the digital jungle.

Every parent wants to keep their child safe and happy online, but finding the language to talk about it can feel impossible. The Digital Jungle guide offers useful tips on how to talk to your children about all aspects of their digital lives, in a way that will open up conversation rather than shutting it down. A highly empowering read, I’d recommend it to anyone who’s grappling with this tricky issue. I think the guide & I shall certainly be using it with my daughter when the time comes!
