From addiction expert Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a startling argument that technology has profoundly affected the brains of children--and not for the better.

We've all seen them: kids hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends' houses--and the numbers are growing. Like a virtual scourge, the illuminated glowing faces--the Glow Kids--are multiplying. But at what cost? Is this just a harmless indulgence or fad like some sort of digital hula-hoop? Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids--a form of interactive educational tool.

Don't believe it.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology--more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity--has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain's pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis. Most shocking of all, recent brain imaging studies conclusively show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person's developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can.

Kardaras will dive into the sociological, psychological, cultural, and economic factors involved in the global tech epidemic with one major goal: to explore the effect all of our wonderful shiny new technology is having on kids. Glow Kids also includes an opt-out letter and a quiz for parents in the back of the book.

My puppy loves this pig
Size: X-Small, Color: Pig
This pig is great! My puppy loves it. It’s fun to throw. It’s soft and furry on the outside with strong edges and very durable. We’ve had it 4 months while my puppy was teething and it’s as good as new. It’s adorable too! 5 out of 5 stars !

Has the chihuahua puppy seal of approval!
Size: X-Small, Color: Fox, Size: X-Small, Color: Fox
I bought this for my chihuahua puppy who was already a fan of the waffle toy made by this company. Compared to that one, this one is more plush, has a different squeaker sound, and isn't quite as firm overall. It's a really cute toy and she enjoys playing with it. So far it has held up really well to her tiny shark teeth. The material seems both soft and durable. Great for toy and small breed dogs and puppies.

Great size
Size: X-Small, Color: Pig
These are the perfect size for my small and medium size dogs. Plus they hold up very well. The squeaker popped within the first couple of days but they still love it.

A "Maybe" for smaller breeds. Not for pitties that study and exploit their prey's weaknesses..
Size: X-Small, Color: Fox, Size: X-Small, Color: Fox
Not for my pittie. I wasn't paying attention to the size of the toy when I ordered it. I knew as soon as I opened the box that it wasn't going to work out, but I didn't pay too much more than I would have if I bought it from Ross and I didn't want to fuss with trying to return it. The weakness in the toy is in the faux fur fabric that forms the main pocket. There's too much space around the squeaker and the fabric is thin enough for a larger breed to puncture through the fabric with their teeth to grip and rip. Once there's an opening in the main fabric, it's game over. The seams of the toy are good, they are strong and well stitched. The overall shape of the toy is also good- no appendages to grab ahold of. Only flaws of the toy is the type of fabric selected and too much empty space. May last for toy breeds and small breeds...but not for my pittie. She played with it for 5 minutes to learn its weaknesses and then promptly gutted the squeaker from the fox in another 5 minutes.
