Powering down, a digital fog, or igniting curiosity? Ways to support children's use of technology
We have all heard the pros and cons of technology use for our children but are they set in stone? Dr. Makos will touch on the key issues when understanding the role of technology, social media and child development by exploring how we can empower our children by learning more about what is actually happening when they use technology. Supported by the current research, she will explore the trends we are seeing (both before and during the pandemic), in addition to addressing those burning questions that we ask ourselves.
