Diana Graber, a Digital Literacy educator and advocate, was recently honored with the National Association for Media Literacy Education’s 2017 Media Literacy Teacher Award. She is the co-founder of Cyberwise, a leading online safety and digital literacy organization and the founder and creator of Cyber Civics, the popular and innovative middle school digital citizenship and literacy program currently being taught in schools in over 30 U.S. states, the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, and Africa.
Sexting, cyberbullying, revenge porn, online predators… all of these potential threats can tempt parents to snatch the smartphone or tablet right out of their children’s hands. While avoidance might eliminate the dangers, that approach also means your child misses out on technology’s many benefits and opportunities.
Raising Humans in a Digital World shows how digital kids must learn to navigate this environment, through
- developing social-emotional skills
- balancing virtual and real life
- building safe and healthy relationships
- avoiding cyberbullies and online predators
- protecting personal information
- identifying and avoiding fake news and questionable content
- becoming positive role models and leaders.
This book is packed with at-home discussion topics and enjoyable activities that any busy family can slip into their daily routine. Full of practical tips grounded in academic research and hands-on experience, today’s parents finally have what they’ve been waiting for—a guide to raising digital kids who will become the positive and successful leaders our world desperately needs.

“Brilliant, compelling, and essential are the first words that came to my mind when reading Diana Graber’s Raising Humans in a Digital World. Diana not only taps her own exemplary expertise but also assembles a “who’s who” of digital thought leaders to deliver a treasure trove of pragmatic advice via an engaging storytelling style.”
--Alan Katzman, founder and CEO, Social Assurity LLC
“Diana Graber not only shows parents how to create safe and responsible relationships in this ever-changing digital world, but she gives them the powerful tools to navigate through the many aspects of what is required to keep kids safe online. The misuse of technology and the cruel behaviors that take place daily by kids and teens can be changed, and Graber shows this in her informative and educational book Raising Humans in a Digital World. The book should be every parent’s bible as a resource to ensure that their children are responsible and safe.”

“This beautifully written book gives you the tools to raise healthy kids in a digital world.

It is thoughtfully organized and theoretically sound, and will empower parents to have some of those much-needed conversations with their kids.”
--Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director, Media Psychology Research Center and faculty member, Fielding Graduate University
Relevant and Relatable! As a mother of three (two are teenagers), I found the tips in this book invaluable. Smartphones and digital streaming and YouTube are here to stay. In fact, it is difficult to avoid the technology even if you want to. There is an app for everything--for students, community sports teams, fundraising, car insurance, travel, shopping--apps make everything easier but they require a plugged-in device, and that plugged-in device is Pandora's box. What we need now is education about how to use this technology and how to set boundaries. It can be a wonderfully creative tool but also a mental health disaster. There is no right way to approach it, rather many paths based upon age, personality, and needs. This book understands the advantages and disadvantages of a digital world and works to help kids develop a healthy relationship with said world. This book is timely, relevant, and compassionate. A must-read for families and educators!A book full of digital empowerment - written for all of us to understand! Raising Humans in a Digital World is challenging - however when CyberCivic's teacher Diana Graber shares her journey, it's not in high-tech fashion, this book is relatable to parents, teachers and adults that work with young people today that are digitally connected (which is the majority of them).Full of first-hand stories, straight from the mouths of students (and backed-up with research) - we finally are able to understand why some parenting tips and tricks work - and some don't. Diana shares what tweens and teens are really thinking (and doing) - and talks about how we can work with them - not against them and learn from each other.This is a timeless book that you will find yourself re-reading - highlighting and constantly going back to. Refer it to friend, but keep it for yourself.Excellent resource for parents who want a roadmap for guiding their kids' digital life Diana Graber has a great down to earth writing style and great insights from her work with middle school kids, relating real-life stories and situations. Rather than scaring parents, she presents the pros and cons of digital media, addressing both how kids consume and produce it. Thought-provoking, but with practical takeaways, this is an excellent starting place for parents to begin thinking about a roadmap for guiding their children.'s digital life.
