The Coronavirus's Legacy for Families' Entertainment and Technology Habits
Our relationship with screens and entertainment had been a pretty big issue before the coronavirus appeared, and now researchers say kids screen time is up by another 50%. The Plugged In team discusses how some of their entertainment habits have changed, as well as what changes or resets you might think about making as we move into the fall and a new school year. You’ll be encouraged to examine your family’s media habits in light of the pandemic and consider a reset.
