In the age of the internet, it can seem overwhelming. There are too many decisions, and they change so rapidly that even well intentioned parents just can&rsquo;t keep up. Outgunned by the pace of change, many have simply given up. They hand their children electronic devices, and hope for the best. In <em>Adrift in the Digital Age, </em>Dr. Mehegan argues that this is a mistake. More than ever, today&rsquo;s children need guidance.
