Understanding Technology Policy

As there are more opportunities for the use of technology, there is an increased need to understand the benefits and risks associated with children and adolescents interacting with the variety of programs they have access to. These include, but are not limited to, smart phones, social media, video content, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. In my role as a psychologist and as a mom, I strongly encourage parents to be fully informed about what their children are engaging with.  


Previously, guidelines were more focused on limiting the amount of screen time. Now with the very quickly advancing developments of AI systems, there is a need to re-address guidelines so parents, teachers, and professional practitioners can help keep kids and teens healthy and flourishing. 


This is an article from the American Academy of Pediatrics to help understand the new guidance for media recommendations. Please review, share, and utilize the helpful resources provided.
