Are They Watching Screens, Again? Young Children, Media, Play and Learning During COVID

In this webinar, Dr. Allison Sterling Henward will focus on how families of young children ages 3—8 and youth can make the most of increased reliance on screens during COVID-19. For many families, electronics are helping children and families to maintain a sense of normalcy and connection during stay at home mandates. Here we will explore research on young children and learning with media tools and discuss strategies that allow families and loved ones to use children’s media use to enhance learning and development. Her goal is to support young children and their loved ones as they find the right balance of media learning with other important activities.
