This Week: Because We Care

Hi WordFriends,

I'm interested in the role that you think media plays in young children's lives. In what ways does media have a positive affect on young children's lives? How do you strike a balance between getting the most innovative technology and media for your child, and keeping them from being addicted to the screen?
