The Why?

​

Tweens spent an average of 4½ hours per day with screen media and 6 hours with all media, including reading and listening to music.

Parents, teachers and policymakers struggle to keep up with the rapidly changing digital world in which our children live and learn.  Now, more than ever, children and youth need a trusted guide to help them navigate a world where change is the only constant.
