5．Reporter：Sonia is a social psychologist who researches children and media.I'm so glad to sit down with Sonia to talk about her new book， "Parenting for a Digital （數(shù)碼）Future".Sonia，in the book，you classify parents into three kinds，what are they？
Sonia：Those that refuse technology，those that try to find a balance and those that welcome technology.
Reporter：What does it mean to really be a "happy tech parent" as you call it in your book？What are some examples？
Sonia： "Happy tech parent" are those who seem more confident and calm in this world of digital parenting.
As the parent of 7-year-old twins working a full-time job，I would say I find a lot to be inspired by in these parents，because actually I need to rely on technology.For screen time，I play an active role in finding out what it is that I want my kids to spend time with.
Reporter：I love that you're using the word 'calm' because I feel like parents really need to use technology to get time for ourselves.But it comes with this burden （負(fù)擔(dān)） of guilt and anxiety.
Sonia：A lot of the advice for parents has focused on the strict forms of using technology - set rules，keep the timer and watch the clock.
But are there other ways that we can use right now？When it comes to screens，kids need a guide.Parents can be more democratic（民主的）.Parents can use the media as part of that communication-to find something they could enjoy together.Thus，parents and children have more trust between each other and can turn to each other when something goes wrong rather than feel they're going to be punished or criticized.
Reporter：I'm sure it will help reduce our anxiety.Since high tech can't be avoided，it's wise for us to guide our kids wisely and be the "happy tech parents".But there is one thing we should always keep in mind，don't let digital media replace those other ways of being together.
