Helping Parents Understand the Minds and Hearts of Generation Z is a quick and powerful look into the thorny road for many parents as they rear children in a technology-based world. Dr. Zarra exposes some ugly truths of how we got to the point of pacifying children with technology, but more importantly, how we can break free from such.

Finally! A practical handbook with insights on the dynamics of child-rearing for parents! Where was this when I was raising my (Gen-Y) children? This book is an excellent vehicle for guided discussions on cross or multi-generational child rearing where groups of parents gather, such as church, youth clubs, and other organizational environments outside of home and school.

Helping Parents Understand the Minds and Hearts of Generation Z is a clear, concise, and cogent handbook not only for parents, but for educators both secular and religious, as well as for counselors and school boards. It’s a thoroughly researched analysis of a rising generation of globally connected, technologically savvy, strategically ambitious, passionately driven, and religiously confused individuals. Dr. Zarra’s passion for “practical teaching students in the classroom and practical parenting children in the home,” is practically refreshing. As a former Pastor and Christian educator, his book would have been required reading for my entire staff, elders and deacons.

Nailed it! Where was Dr. Zarra when I was raising Millennials? This book is a sobering, but earnestly needed dissection of today’s techno-gratified generation, and addresses how it differs from those which have come before. As a parent of three Millennials, Dr. Zarra’s exhaustive research and vast experience, help to make sense out of sometimes backwards worlds faced by competing generations. His sometimes comical, but serious and meticulous comprehension of every generation since the Traditionalists, lends to an underlying message—generations don’t fail—they adapt. This book is definitely a win-win and helps parents to understand their own children better.
