The Glass Cage

In homes everywhere, a quiet struggle is unfolding. Children drift into the glow of their devices, while parents watch from a distance, wondering when childhood became something that happens behind glass.

In The Glass Cage, K.B. Starr offers a deeply human, compassionate, and eye-opening exploration of how screens slipped into the heart of family life-and what we can do now to reclaim what matters most.

Drawing on real moments from modern parenting, Starr reveals:

• Why kids seem more anxious, restless, and easily overwhelmed

• How screen time quietly replaces imagination, connection, and resilience

• Why attention, boredom, and stillness matter more than ever

• How families around the world are setting healthier boundaries without conflict

• Simple, powerful practices that help children reconnect with themselves-and with us

This is not a book about blame, guilt, or rigid rules.

It is a book about hope.

With warmth and clarity, Starr shows how small, steady changes can restore the rhythm of real life-and how every parent, no matter how busy or overwhelmed, can win back their child's presence, curiosity, and joy.

If you've ever looked at your child and wondered where they've gone,

or wished you could reach past the screen and pull them gently back into the world...
