Book Research
Hi there!

My name is Jonathan Stark and I'm doing preliminary research for a book about raising kids in a world full of connected devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, game consoles, set-top boxes, etc).

I'd be super grateful if you could take ten minutes or so to complete the following form. All questions are optional and your answers will be kept 100% private.

Thanks in advance!

I'm just looking for verbal rules here; stuff that you *tell* your kids to do/not do (as opposed to physically preventing them from doing).

Do you have different rules, restrictions, or policies for your kids based on their age or gender?

In general, what are your thoughts or feelings about kids having access to internet connected devices?
e.g., It's a great thing because they can learn so much right at home, it's okay in moderation but I have to keep an eye on them, it's scary and I won't let them go online until they're old enough to drive, etc. Please go into as much detail as you have time for.
Do you have security concerns about your kids having access to internet connected devices?
e.g., Developmental impact, cyber bullying, child abduction, etc.
