Research Roundup: Digital Media and Young Children
Abstract
The research on screen time, digital media, and young children is of great interest to families and the librarians who work with them, as evidenced by comments in the Preschool Services Discussion online and by the large number of participants at the Preschool Services Discussion Group meeting at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston. As a follow-up, this column will highlight a few studies regarding children and media and will also present a selection of media mentorship resources, including some collected by the Preschool Services Discussion Group (with thanks to Sue McCleaf Nespeca and Linda L. Ernst).
