In the age of the pandemic, it's inevitable that screen time has gone up for all of us — including children. But how has all of this extra exposure to technology and media affected kids? Has it had a positive or negative impact? Is it altering the way they view relationships and has it affected the nature of their relationships with family and friends?

Listen as Florence Ann and Joe discuss this topic with Julia Dennison, Digital Content Director of Parents.com. Julia opens up with our hosts about how she is navigating her daughter's exposure to media as a single mom and what patterns she and her colleagues are seeing at Parents.
