Screens are everywhere! Young children are spending more and more time engaged with media. Learn what and when children might be learning from screens as well as how we can support children’s media activities. We will discuss the importance and power of play in children’s development, and how children use play to build relationships and increase their understanding of the world. Finally, we will learn tips for integrating play into daily life, and ways to make the most of ever-present media and technology.
