Authorised 2026 Series 7 Episode 7 Jodi Wilson 

Technology is part of our lives from a very early age and dealing with the choices is hard for adults, let alone kids barely out of nappies, but it is their reality. This terrific new book is just what the doctor ordered and delivered - Dr. Niraj Lal, that is. Behind the Screens is a guide to navigating the internet for 9 to 13 year olds, but it is so much more than that. Like lots of things in life, kids should not be the only ones allowed to access this invaluable tool. Dr. Niraj aka 'Nij' has given us a well laid out game plan to ensure we are controlling our phone and internet use, not the other way around. 

Behind the Screens - published by University of Queensland Press - is exactly what it says it is, a book that shows you how the internet works and how to make it work for you.
