This holiday season, many kids are asking for shiny new devices, but some parents worry about how access to all this may affect children. We talk with the author of a new book that takes a fact-not-fear approach to exposing kids to technology, and promises to help parents navigate the digital world.
GUESTS:
- Yalda Uhls - developmental psychologist and researcher on how media impacts the social behavior of preadolescents. She directs Creative Community Partnerships at Common Sense Media, a nonprofit media advocacy group for families, and her new book is called Media Moms & Digital Dads: A Fact-Not-Fear Approach to Parenting in the Digital Age.
