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?

Feel free to share your thoughts with other members of the WordWorld community here.

After shutting the garage door, I pretended that we were stuck in the car. Miranda, sweet thing, says, "Mommy, calm down and think things through." After laughing so hard at what she said, I found out she got it from Word World! What an observant little gal!"
