Common Sense Education has developed an early childhood toolkit for providers to share with their families who have children ages zero to eight.
About Early Childhood Toolkit: Young Kids & Screens
Common Sense’s six turnkey workshops, available in English and Spanish, are all designed to for providers to help families nurture young children’s development in the digital age.
The workshops, available in English and Spanish, are meant to facilitate meaningful conversations with parents and caregivers on the following six topics:
- Raising Healthy Kids in a Digital World
- Finding Balance with Media and Tech Use at Home
- Choosing High-Quality Media for Your Kids
- How to Make Meaningful Family Connections Using Media and Tech
- Introducing Online Safety to Young Kids
- How to Use Media and Tech to Build Life Skills in Young Kids
The workshop activities are based on Common Sense’s in-depth analysis of the relationships between children’s use of high-quality media content and their screen time, and the development of executive functioning skills: Children, Executive Functioning, and Media: A Review 2020.
