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.Binding Type: Paperback

Don't waste your money!
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG, Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
Do NOT buy unless you like throwing away your money! This Ethical Pets 54093 Skinneeez Frog seemed like a great dog toy, but my Malti Poo destroyed it within TEN minutes! He actually ate the material and half of the squeaker before I found the other half. Guess we’ll be seeing that outside in a few days! This toy is listed as “Durable Dog Toy”, but it is NOT. I’ve got dog toys from the dollar store that lasted for months! We will not be buying nor recommending this product again. Don’t waste your money!

Perfect size for pittie pups
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
This was a pretty good toy. I have three pitbulls. The puppy in my video is 65lbs for reference to the toy. I thought that since it was fluffless she wouldn't try to eat the thing but after a couple of days of tugging it with her brothers the toy's paw came off and I was not fast enough to prevent her from swallowing it. She got rid of it with little GI stress. I will say that even though she's not squeaking it in the video, it has a pretty loud squeak. Overall we had it for four days before 260lbs of pooches were able to get the squeaker out. If you have pits then you know this is 5-star worthy sturdiness.

An Instant Hit and Everyone's New Favorite
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
An instant favorite! It took quite a while for my dog to break the squeaker, too. I love that it uses a water bottle for the crinkle sound, and I'm kind of glad the squeaker finally bit the dust. That works out well for us. It's tough enough that it's not ripped yet. Our dog plays with this toy every day.
No fluff to pull out was definitely a plus for me. It's a great toy for the price, and I think small and larger dogs would also enjoy it. Johan is 7 months old, weighs about 40 pounds, and always chooses a favorite toy. This one replaced a worn out toy frog that was smaller, but still treasured. I was so glad that he loves this one just as much.
It's a little bit longer than a regular-sized water bottle and has dangly legs. I think you could also put plastic that crinkles inside it, and they would love that too. It has a velcro closure to keep whatever you put in there inside, and he hasn't figured out how to open it so far.
Update: We just bought a second one of these because he enjoyed the first one to its conclusion. It lasted longer than most toys (about 4 months with HARD use by a giant puppy), and it is his most favorite soft toy. The original didn't rip or tear, but the velcro got worn out when he figured out how to open it. I probably could have fixed it easily, but since Johan is the goodest boy, I got him a new one.

Best Toy Ever! 🐾
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
Hey, it’s me, your dog! 🐶 This Frog toy is AMAZING! No stuffing to pull out (finally), so I can chew and squeak it all I want without making a mess. The squeaker is SO satisfying, I carry it everywhere. It’s the perfect size for playing tug-of-war and fetch with my human. I’ve had it for a while now, and it’s still holding up strong—no rips or tears yet! If you love squeaky toys and want something that lasts, this frog is paws-itively the best! 🐸
