FYI: Screen-Free Week resources :

May 2, 2016
Topics:

Encourage children and families to take a break from digital entertainment and reconnect with the world around them during Screen-Free Week, May 2-8.

The AAP Council on Communications and Media offers a collection of educational resources at http://bit.ly/1WMfkMo, and a recent AAP News article “Beyond turn it off” outlines tips to advise families on media use (http://bit.ly/1UGXpJ6).

The Pediatrics for the 21st Century (Peds 21) program on Oct. 21 prior to the AAP National Conference & Exhibition in San Francisco will focus on “The Medium Is the Message: How Electronic Media Are Transforming Our Patients’ World.” The half-day conference will go in-depth on the role of media in children’s lives.
