Todd's TV

Reach for this book when you find yourself in a constant battle over screen time or if you are feeling the guilt of digital parenting in a fast-paced world. This satirical, absurdist tale follows Todd, whose parents are so busy that they let the television take over all caregiving duties, from feeding him to tucking him in. While the premise is humorous and cartoonish, it touches on deeper emotional themes of loneliness, neglect, and the fundamental need for human connection. It is an excellent tool for parents who want to open a non-judgmental conversation with children ages 4 to 8 about why boundaries with technology exist. By using humor rather than a lecture, the book helps families reflect on the joy found in being present with one another without the glow of a screen.
