Nowadays, it is impossible to get away from a screen since everyone has a phone, restaurants have TVs mounted everywhere, and children are on tablets at school, so it's more important than ever that we make sure that what they are watching is appropriate content.
To give us some guidance, Momo Hayakawa joins us to discuss what that looks like. She is the Director and Development Researcher at Twin Cities PBS and TPT, and has had shows play on PBS Kids! Today she'll explain to us what "quality screen time" looks like, and how we can make sure our little ones are getting it.
This episode, we'll go over:
- What research at TPT and Twin Cities PBS looks like for Momo
- What the creative process behind quality content looks like
- The connections between screen time and behavior in children
- Assessing the appropriateness of content depending on your child's age
- Resources for quality screen time
Below are helpful resources for assessing the media our children are interacting with:
