Episode 2 – Ask an Expert: Notice
In episode two of a six-part series, explore strategies your family can use to build awareness about feelings, choices, and behaviors related to technology and media use.
Welcome to Episode 2 of Ask an Expert: Conversations About Digital Well-being for Families!
In this second episode, we’ll focus on the habit of Noticing. Dr. Stephanie Lee, Psy.D, PCIT, expert in parent-child interactions, and Tara Wright, Sesame Workshop Senior Content Manager, explore strategies to help families practice becoming more aware of how they feel in different situations (whether using media or not) and make choices while considering those feelings.
Listen along to explore concepts such as:
- How can media and technology affect children’s bodies, moods, and behaviors?
- What information might parents and caregivers consider when making choices around children’s media?
- How can parents and caregivers grow in awareness of their own behaviors, especially related to media and technology?
