ABSTRACT
Walk down the hallway of today's high schools and readers will see students engaging in conversations, laughing with friends, and hurrying to class. Elementary campuses look similar, with wide-eyed students clumped in groups, laughing and interacting. Children have not changed substantively—as humans, authors still develop in ways similar to the earliest theories of Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson. The generational differences between iGen and other generations don't appear to end with this group. Early marketing research into the generation of children born after 2012, currently referred to as Generation Alpha, suggests that the impact of technology on our children is only beginning. Clearly the impact of technology isn't going away As more and more children are born into this digital world, parents will continue to seek resources to help negate some of the negative impacts of our digital world—most of which they are only just beginning to understand.
