Technologies change. Children’s developmental needs do not.
Our Screen Aware Early Childhood Action Kit provides:
- Guidance for prioritizing healthy child development in a screen saturated world
- Strategies for managing screen use (for children and adults)
- Research-based information on impacts of screen technologies
- Resources for promoting screen awareness at home and in the classroom
The Action Kit was created in response to feedback from practitioners seeking research-based education and advocacy materials that are easy to use and distribute. This collection of free, downloadable resources answers that call! We hope our Action Kit serves as a practical and helpful tool to support children, families, and classroom communities. We would love your feedback!
