Meet Timmy: A lovable monster who can’t get enough of the coolest gadgets and video games. Too bad he doesn’t realize how much time he spends each day in front of a screen. Timmy’s Monster Diary: Screen Time Stress uses "Time-Telling" and "ST4" techniques developed by Dr. Raun Melmed of the Melmed Center in Arizona to help kids self-monitor the amount of time they spend with technology. Timmy’s doodles and diary entries chronicle his delightful adventures, misadventures, and eventual triumph in a funny, relatable way. The book also includes a resource section to help parents and teachers implement Dr. Melmed’s methods, plus ST4 reminders that kids can remove, color, and place around the house.
