Digital Smarts - No Simple Conclusions

The amount of screen time children are allowed to have is a topic that has been debated for years, but it might not be as simple as a magic number of hours (or even minutes) . Recently Common Sense Media compiled some case studies and found that discussing children’s media experiences as though they are a monolithic group really doesn’t give a very accurate picture of the younger generation’s use of technology. Their conclusion? Different kids use media for different reasons and it is important for parents and adults to take that into consideration before setting limits.
