Teen's Guide to Face-to-Face Connections in a Screen-to-Screen World: 40 Tips to Meaningful Communication

Screens provide fun platforms to connect with faraway friends; and sometimes the people we love the most are the people we ignore all day. You can dare to be relationally different in a screen-to-screen culture. You probably enjoy screens but don't want them hurting your relationships with the people who matter most, right? What if you could improve your face-to-face relationships, develop deeper connections, resolve conflict, and confidently communicate with friends, parents, teachers, roommates, coworkers, potential employers...even the barista at your local coffee shop? Jonathan McKee, and his daughter Alyssa McKee, uncover forty random realizations they've discovered over the last five years to help you to become screen-wise, including: 

• Your phone doesn't have an UNSEND button. 
•  Sometimes less is more. 
• We all need a digital detox every once in a while. 
• Sometimes the people we love the most are the people we ignored all day. 
• If you find someone who doesn't look at their phone once during a meal...marry them!
