The Unintended Consequences of Smart Phones on Early Childhood with guest Hillary Wilkinson of Healthy Screen Habits - Unplug & Plug In Podcast Episode 7

 
 

Wouldn't it be interesting to learn what a baby born today in our world sees and decides is important as they watch us adults grab our phones to work, play and connect?

Join host Lisa Honold and guest expert Hillary Wilkinson as they talk about early child development. We’re looking through a baby’s eyes, then a child's eyes as they’re growing, and talking about what they are learning about technology.

This one is truly eye opening!

“When we start talking about digital wellness, kids are in their tween and teen years. And what I realized was, when we're looking at middle schoolers in tween years, we're seeing the results of these unintended effects of technology on early childhood. I'm talking, pre-literacy even pre-verbal communications that are happening.

Our younger population is living in pain. And when I'm talking about younger population, I'm talking about young adults on down.”
