Jordan Shapiro discusses his book "Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad." Shapiro offers a norm-shattering perspective on fatherhood, family, and gender essentialism. This thoughtful exploration of dad-psychology—presented from an archetypal perspective—challenges our familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. There are hundreds of books on parenting, but when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Father Figure fills that gap. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding toward an image of manliness for the modern world. Jordan Shapiro, PhD is a globally celebrated American thought leader. He is senior fellow for the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, a Nonresident Fellow in the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and teaches in Temple University’s Intellectual Heritage Program. Jordan also has a Forbes column that has been read by over 5 million people around the world where he writes about global education, learning through digital play, kids and culture. Additionally, he is an international speaker and consultant whose fresh perspective combines psychology, philosophy, and economics in unexpected ways. His book, The New Childhood: Raising Kids To Thrive in a Connected World changed the cultural conversation about parenting and screen time; it received wide critical acclaim and has been translated into 11 languages.

Almost every parent is these days worried about screen time. However, our anxiety is misplaced and also not good for our children. Jordan Shapiro explains why children need less limits and restrictions and more mentoring and guidance. It’s urgent. Grownups should embrace the connected world, model better digital behaviors, and play video games with their kids. Our future depends on it. --- Keby by bol život ako video hra - nové detstvo. Skoro každého rodiča dnes trápi, či dieťa netrávi pred obrazovkou príliš veľa času. Ale náš strach z technológií je neopodstatnený a zlý pre naše deti. Jordan Shapiro odôvodňuje, prečo deti potrebujú menej zákazov a viac vysvetľovania. Je to naliehavé. Dospelí potrebujú prijať online svet, hrať sa so svojimi deťmi a pritom im ukázať, ako sa v tomto svete správať. Naša digitálna budúcnosť od toho závisí.

Sus alumnos están acostumbrados a que desarrolle las grandes ideas de la filosofía occidental (de Carl Jung a Martin Heidegger) utilizando herramientas tan poco frecuentes como el Space Invaders, Angry Birds o Twitter. No hay constancia de que la fenomenología de Husserl tenga algún tipo de relación con el arcade, pero Shapiro se atreve con todo. Incluso a contradecir a Barack Obama. El presidente de Estados Unidos puso en marcha recientemente una iniciativa para que todos los niños y jóvenes del país tuvieran la posibilidad de aprender a programar. Defendía que estos conocimientos les proporcionarían la preparación adecuada para la nueva economía y los empleos que esta va a demandar. Una versión más sofisticada del clásico aforismo de las madres de "estudiar algo que tenga salidas". Shapiro, polemista brillante, no negaba a Obama la importancia de que los niños aprendieran a escribir código, sino que asegura que la experiencia no debe impulsarse por sus oportunidades laborales, sino porque es enriquecedora en sí misma, como lo es aprender a tocar el piano. Doctor en Psicología, Shapiro publica una columna en la revista Forbes titulada "Filosofía Geek", en la que escribe sobre el aprendizaje a través de los videojuegos y la importancia que la tecnología tiene sobre nuestra forma de interpretar el mundo. Para él los videojuegos, en lugar de representar un ocio pernicioso que terminará por estropear el cerebro de las nuevas generaciones, son un ritual muy importante para los niños: "Cuando estás en la sinagoga, en la mezquita o en la iglesia estás representando una historia, en la misma medida en que representas una historia cuando juegas un videojuego". La principal preocupación de Shapiro es cómo llevamos a cabo la transmisión de conocimientos y cómo conseguimos que los niños y jóvenes se sientan atraídos por la posibilidad de aprender. “La energía que se respira en el campus universitario durante las fechas de exámenes finales es una violación de los derechos humanos”, asegura, “nadie debería ser sometido a esa indignidad”. Los videojuegos, según Shapiro, pueden convertirse también en una nueva herramienta de evaluación en los entornos educativos: siguiendo la lógica de los juegos, si eres capaz de superar un nivel es que estás preparado para acceder al siguiente. Eso sí, siempre y cuando los alumnos participen en el proceso, porque la generación “cabeza de bloque”, como ha bautizado a los niños que hoy juegan a Minecraft, “va a querer que todo tenga capacidad social, creativa e interactiva”.

Raising children isn't easy and it can sometimes seem the worries are never ending. But should screens be added to the list of things to fear or should they simply be embraced as part of parenting today? That question is causing debate, both in families and in academia. In April, the World Health Organization issued new guidelines on how much time parents should allow young children to spend looking at screens - phones, tablets, or TVs. Children younger than one year old should not have any screen time, it said, and children aged two to four should have passive screen time (defined as time spent watching content, rather than interacting with a game or an app) capped at one hour a day. These recommendations are similar to those issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which recommends children younger than 18 months get no screen time and that children between two and five should have their use limited to one hour. But are such limits and guidelines one size fits all? The Royal College of Pediatrics in Britain believes evidence of screen harm is often overstated. It has also said that connections between screen time and negative effects are mainly due to its impact on socialising, exercise and sleep. More evidence-based advice could be on the way, though. The National Institutes of Health in the US is conducting a study of more than 11,000 children at 21 locations around the country. So far, the most significant findings: MRI scans found significant differences in the brains of children who reported using smartphones, tablets, and video games for more than seven hours a day. And children who reported more than two hours a day of screen time scored on thinking and language tests. Advocates for screen time, though, argue that it leads to advanced learning and improved language skills. So how can parents navigate all of this conflicting information?
