About the AAP’s media guidelines for parents

October 24, 2016 By Anne 3 Comments

The American Academy of Pediatrics has updated its guidance on screen time for families by de-emphasizing the term "screen time." The AAP's focus is now more on the "how" of media use than the "how much." "The key is mindful use of media within a family," the AAP's press release quoted Megan Moreno, MD, lead author of the Academy's policy statement for school-aged children and … [Read more...] about About the AAP’s media guidelines for parents

Spreading out emotional risk in digital social spaces

October 16, 2013 By Anne Leave a Comment
