You are not imagining it. Something has genuinely changed for this generation of kids.

If you've watched your teenager disappear into a phone for hours and felt a mix of worry, guilt, and not knowing what to actually do — this book was written for you.

Growing Up Interrupted walks through what the research actually shows about phones, social media, and teen mental health — without moral panic and without pretending everything is fine — then gives you a real, usable plan.

Inside, you'll learn:

Why confiscating the phone usually backfires, and what you need to do instead
The real difference between online connection and online comparison
How to read warning signs accurately, without overreacting or dismissing them
How to talk to a teenager who shuts the door — literally and emotionally
How to build a family tech agreement that doesn't start a war
Age-by-age guidance from elementary school through the college transition
When and how to get outside professional help

This isn't a book about winning a fight against a phone. It's about staying close enough that your kid brings you the hard stuff instead of carrying it alone.

If you want a calm, honest, actually usable plan — not another reason to panic — start it now.
