Do you have questions about the use of digital devices and the impact on children’s physical development, oral language, and behaviour? If so, join us for this session where we will debunk myths by exploring the research, paired with opportunities for questions and conversation.  Using research as a guide, we will provide practical recommendations around the use of digital devices with young children in the home and at school. Let’s team up to provide a digital device plan in the best interest of our children’s healthy brain development!
