Dr. Steiner-Adair to Speak on How New Technology Disrupts Family Life February 5 at Bronxville School



Jan. 29, 2014: Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age, will speak on Wednesday, February 5, at 9:00 am in the Edwards Room at The Reformed Church of Bronxville and at 7:00 pm in the multipurpose room at The Bronxville School.

The Wall Street Journal included her book in "The WSJ Best Nonfiction of 2013," stating: "This riveting piece of journalism disguised as a self-help tome chronicles how new technology has disrupted family life. Parents pacify infants with iPhones, toddlers play violent games and pre-teens are sexting. The book offers no easy answers but gently encourages all of us who lack the discipline to unplug."

Dr. Steiner-Adair is a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and a school consultant. Her current research focuses on, among other things, "helping schools develop programs to fortify children's resistance to cultural trends values that promote unhealthy risk taking and anti-social behaviors," as described on her website.

The program is sponsored by the Bronxville PTA's Bwell Committee.

Womrath Bookshop has copies of the book.
