The Institute of Digital Media and Child Development’s Children and Screens is a resource for scientifically based, objective information on the use of media by children and the impact on their development.

Conflicting information exists regarding the risks and benefits that digital media offers toddlers, children and youth, and how parents, caregivers, clinicians and society at large can best intervene and guide young people. The Institute works to identify and communicate accurate and trustworthy information on this and other related topics to a variety of audiences: scholars, parents, educators, clinicians, collaborating organizations, and the general public.
