Practical and Helpful Advice. Highly Recommend.

This book is a game changer! This was exactly what I needed. I'm a newish parent trying to figure out how to manage screen time without feeling like the "bad guy." Payne breaks things down in such a simple, no-nonsense way. She explains how tech affects our kids and gives super practical tips for setting boundaries that actually work.

I also loved all the ideas for activities that don’t involve screens. It’s not just about cutting back on tech; it’s about finding ways to connect as a family.

A lot of Great Information

There are many really good points in this audiobook. One in particular stood out to me: what your children are picking up on from you subconsciously and how that will naturally determine future behaviors. It has made me realise that as a parent I must be conscious of my behaviors and manage my state well. The narration is clear and positive but perhaps a little dry after some time. However, overall this book is strong and hold a lot of good information about how to set the right environment and how to establish positive rules and guides for technology so that screen time doesn't become all ruling!

This is an absolute must-read for any parent navigating the tech-filled world we live in today. The author does a fantastic job of breaking down the effects of technology on children and offers practical, no-nonsense strategies for setting healthy boundaries around screen time. What really sets this book apart is its balanced approach—it's not about eliminating tech but about fostering a healthy relationship with it while building meaningful family connections.

Necessary Information For Mental Health

Eliza Payne's Parenting Glow Kids is an excellent audiobook. She writes from a place of knowledge, compassion, and understanding. She makes it clear from the beginning that she has experienced what many of us have with the balance between the usefulness of technology and the crutch and addiction that it can become. She gives numerous tips and strategies to rein in the technology, such as using boundaries that need to be enforced, being on the same page with your partner, consistently implementing the actions, and replacing screen time with meaningful connective activities. She reminds us to reinforce the values we want our family to hold and experience. Highly recommend

Balanced perspective encouraging “technology wise” lifestyle prioritizing relationship

I hadn’t heard the term “glow kids” prior to reading this books, but it refers to children growing up around consistent screen glow. I was really impressed with the balanced and thoughtful approach to this topic throughout the book. I love that it prioritizes a healthy relationship with your children as the guiding light throughout everything, and it also doesn’t try to suggest that 100% screen-free is best. Instead, it explains the benefits of being “technology wise” and providing meaningful technology experiences to your children.

The author of the book self-proclaims that she’s not an expert but rather another mom figuring it out as she goes. This brings a fresh perspective to the topic while simultaneously bringing in facts and research from a variety of sources. The audiobook also includes a PDF of the entire book in written formal which is a nice touch—helpful for being able to glance back at certain sections quickly. I’d certainly recommend this book to other parents struggling to determine the role technology should play in their children’s lives in this fast-paced technology-centric world.

Transformative and Resourceful

Parenting Glow Kids by Aliza Payne is a resourceful audiobook on raising children in a world where technology plays a significant role in their lives, causing them to have an unhealthy relationship with technology. She wants to find ways to balance the digital world with real-life experiences. She provided some extensive guidelines on the topic. She coined the term "tech-wise parenting" to help parents understand that they don't have to avoid or eliminate a child's screen time; she wants them to find ways to enhance their child's life without dominating it with digital technology. She recommended purposeful and intentional use of technology, that parents need full access to their child's social media, and that they should schedule tech-free activities for their children. The author understands that it will take time for parents to see the change when they practice tech-wise parenting. But, in time, the child will benefit from tech-wise parenting. They will have improved communication skills and the ability to make sound decisions, just two of the many potential outcomes. I recommend this book so parents can read all the guidelines to help their children have a healthy relationship with technology.
