Parents have real concerns about raising children in a world saturated with technology. There are impacts on childhood development, safety, and long term implications on how children learn and communicate. On The Point, we discuss the effects of technology on children and why parents and caregivers need to become more aware of their own use of technology around kids. Mindy Todd interviews Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a clinical psychologist and a clinical instructor at the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Her latest book is titled The Big Disconnect- Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age.
Dr. Steiner-Adair will be giving a talk at Friends Academy in Dartmouth on March 30th at 6:30pm- here’s a link with more info.
