内容简介：
Emotion. Ego. Impatience. Stubbornness. Characteristics like these make creating sites and apps for kids a daunting proposition. However, with a bit of knowledge, you can design experiences that help children think, play, and learn. With Design for Kids, you'll learn how to create digital products for today's connected generation.
Designing new tech for kids is an important, complex, messy mission that Debra Gelman explains with candor and brilliance. Her consideration of who children are and how we must design for and with them is a must read. More people need to understand that excellent technologies for children are not just born, but hard work, real time, and careful planning need to happen. It is all spelled out so well in this book. --Dr. Allison Druin, Chief Futurist, University of Maryland Division of Research, Co-Director Future of Information Alliance
As someone intensely interested in patterns of human behavior and technology, I am so thrilled that Debra wrote this book! Learning, play, Piaget, differences by age and gender—Design for Kids covers it all. And whether you're designing for children or adults, read this book; you will be inspired by all the examples and Debra's thoughtful reflections on this challenging design space. --Stephen P. Anderson, author of Seductive Interaction Design and creator of the Mental Notes card deck
During my work as a UX researcher and consultant in kids media, I often wished a book like this existed. Debra has done an excellent job at bridging the gap between theory and practice. This book is a must read for anyone who shares her vision of creating accessible, engaging and child-friendly media. --Sabina Idler, Founder of UXkids
