Get Screenwise - Devorah Heitner [72]

How are you handling the onslaught of screen technology with your kids? In today's podcast episode I talk to Devorah Heitner, author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World.

How do you answer these questions with your child?

• When do they watch a show independently?
• When do they make their own media choices? 
• When can they do some creating?
• When to interact with other people? Minecraft with a friend? 
• When should my child get an email account?

We discuss all of these big milestones and more. 

Here are some of the things we mentioned:
