Parent University: Not All Tech Is Created Equal

One of the kids wants to be a YouTuber when she grows up and is begging for her own channel.  Another one would play Minecraft all day long if you let him.  Your teenager barely looks up from his phone. Your preschooler has a complete meltdown when you’re waiting to get your food at a restaurant unless you let her watch a few videos. And through it all, they dutifully pack up their Chromebooks every day to engage with, you guessed it, even more technology at school. What’s a parent to do?

It’s a tricky question, like so many of the questions parents have as they navigate their childrens’ growth and learning.  That’s why the GLG is kicking off our “Parent University” mini-series. As parents of school-aged children ourselves, in this episode we will make connections to our fellow-parent listeners and help answer some questions along the way.
