Below is a book prospectus idea I put together last summer... just some thoughts to prime the pump for our cover page.


 * Digital Dinosaurs: A Survival Guide for Parents of Digital Natives ||

Digital Dinosaurs examines the complex challenges of parenting in a rapidly changing world. The rules have changed, the venue has changed, and the child rearing game is vastly different than a decade ago. The problem is the kids have figured out the new rules and many parents lack the confidence and competence to lead while uncertain about where they are let alone where they are heading. Included in Digital Dinosaurs is a quick reference guide to help translate and communicate with digital natives. A brief overview of Web 1.0 will be provided although parents who have not grasped this foundation may already be headed toward extinction. Then, the text will closely examine the 10 most frequented sites in the Web 2.0 platform and finally discuss ways to navigate the virtual environments of the emerging Web 3.0.
 * Idea:**

The publication offers a lifeline to struggling parents who want to remain a relevant, viable resource for their children for years to come. The easy path for parents is learned helplessness and unfortunately, many have already chosen this route. The right path is the one leading to self-reliance, independence, and the ability to offer help to our kids instead of constantly asking for it.

Tradebook publishers that produce books for general audiences.
