Distracted is a book that every parent should read and it's particularly useful for teachers. Primarily for use in secondary school/university classrooms, its also incredibly pertinent for parents. Attention in children waxes and wanes and its hard to sustain especially when they are surrounded by so much technology. Lang's academic research is supported by theory, however, the book's tone is informal and its easy to read. Lang provides strategies to sustain this attention and they are relatively easy to implement. A must read book for all educators.
