SubscribeDo you shudder to think about how much screen time your kids consumed over the past few years — and how their education suffered during the pandemic? You’re not alone. Thankfully, we now have a way forward.
In this essential ParentMap Live talk, Dr. Dimitri Christakis, director of Seattle Children’s Research Institute’s Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development, presents a blueprint for how parents and educators can close education gaps and rebalance screen time.
The strategy draws from Christakis’ landmark research on the impact of a “media diet” on children’s social, cognitive and emotional development through a post-pandemic opportunity lens. Parents will be able to understand and quantify what the long-term effects on children may be. Find hope in our children’s future and together we can get them back on track!
