Raising Children to be Conscious Digital Citizens

Pinterest

Some experts say Americans spend upwards of 10 hours a day in front of screens. This holiday season, many are grappling with whether or not to give children a gift with a screen.  On The Point, we talk about screen use guidelines for adults and children, and steps for raising children to be conscious digital citizens instead of just digital consumers.

Guests are: Janell Hofmann Burley, author of iRules, What Every Tech-Healthy Family Needs to Know about Selfies, Sexting, Gaming and Growing Up; and Melissa Maguire, Director of Student Services with the Monomoy Regional School District.
