The digital world is designed to grab our attention through the allure of increased productivity, interactivity, and entertainment, all within instant reach of our smartphones and mobile devices. We have endless access to movies, social interactivity, music, games, and anything the human mind creates in a digital environment. Is this all good? Is this all bad? Healthy usage of digital media entertainment lies somewhere between one to three hours per day. The problem is the average child is overdosing on digital media entertainment at more than seven hours daily! Julie, Christie, and Dr. Doan approach this topic with neuroscience research, proven solutions, and Biblical wisdom. This workbook is designed to educate, increase awareness, and prevent your kids and family from being sucked into the digital vortex!
Endorsements:
The “Digital Vortex Survival Guide” is a must-read for all who want to understand how to survive in this new era of digital media. As a recovering video game addict of ten years, I know all too well the negative impact digital media and video games can have on your life, as they caused me to drop out of high school, deceive my family, and even write a suicide note. Today, we live in a world where digital media is integrated into our lives, and it's not going anywhere. To live our purpose and realize our fullest potential, we must learn how to navigate this new world. That is why I strongly recommend the “Digital Vortex Survival Guide” to those seeking to not only understand the problem, but to learn practical solutions to recover that work. - Cam Adair, Founder of Game Quitters, Recovering Video Game Addict of 10 Years.
Julie, Christie, and Dr. Doan convey complex neuroscience and brain development in an understandable way. The workbook is well-designed with great graphics to help teens and parents understand how behaviors and digital media affect the brain. The book is timely and brilliant. All families and teens need this book, at least the ones who want to succeed in the digital age and avoid being sucked into a digital vortex! - Aaron Tabor, M.D., Founder of Jesus Daily® with over 30 million Facebook followers.
Digital Natives are into technology. They’re in deep. So, why is that a problem? The “Digital Vortex Survival Guide” is a powerful resource for parents, teachers and all caring people who are concerned about an entire tech-savvy generation. The authors have crafted an easy-to-understand guide that explains how the effects of excessive media tech usage impact the brain of developing teens. This book will help you be informed, stay alert and know what it takes to live a balanced life in an overstimulated world. - Linda Mintle, Ph.D. Chair, Behavioral Health, Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine; Author, “Raising Healthy Kids in an Unhealthy World.”

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
