Balancing… Screen Time

Trying to figure out how to balance the realities of screens with safety and development?

Some may want to just block all screens especially in the early years but I have learned as a parent and a teacher that for most of us this is an unattainable goal- screens are just too much a part of our world. Beyond their ubiquitous presence, screens are also a major tool in our society. So if we can not escape them why not learn to use and control them. I have been looking into different resources for our #kindermusikbysallycommunity to help us learn techniques to do just that.

Check the info out- and of course share with me (& our community here on this page) your thoughts on this content or if there are other creators/sites you find more helpful.
