The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Screen Time Action Network at Fairplay (Action Network) have developed a new resource series called Be Tech Wise With Preschoolers. These series are specifically designed to support families with young children in making decisions regarding the use of devices and how screen time affects their child’s overall development, including communication, social-emotional, and learning skills.
The series provides free resources for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children:
- Be Tech Wise With Babies opens in a new tab
- Be Tech Wise With Toddlers opens in a new tab
- Be Tech Wise With Preschoolers in English opens in a new tab and Spanish opens in a new tab
These resources can support families in answering questions such as:
- Should I purchase a tablet for my child?
- Does my child need apps to help them learn?
- How do I keep my child engaged when caring for another baby?
