Electronics use among young children was already on the rise before Covid hit, when Covid hit electronic use by children under 4 doubled. In addition to electronic use in general rising during Covid, the purchases of ebooks for children surged after the lockdown started. As we start to emerge from Covid it is the perfect time to look at the research of how young children learn and how screens may not be the best tool for that learning. Participants will delve into the research on early brain development and how the young brain responds to screen use versus books. Learning objectives:
