The New AAP Digital Media Guidance

A child's engagement with digital media isn't just with a device or an app, but with an entire digital ecosystem. Managing these ecosystems can be challenging enough under regular circumstances, but tech's commercialization has outpaced families' access to helpful supports around health development, relationships, and well-being — not just of individual children or families, but of communities and societies. Dr. Tiffany Munzer, a lead author of the AAP's new Digital Ecosystems, Children, and Adolescents Policy Statement, joins us to explain this new publication and its recommendations for families, caregivers, society — and industry.
