April 16: Screen Time for Young Children
Screens are everywhere, and young children are spending more and more time in front of them. Screens and media can be a great way for children to learn but may also have a negative impact on their development. This workshop will help participants learn about how screen time and other media exposure impacts children, learn the screen time recommendations for infants, toddlers, and young children and understand ways to decrease screen time for young children.
Extension Extras for Professionals is a collection of free online series of childcare workshops that provide guidance for early childhood professionals and caregivers of young children. Trainings are eligible for MIRegistry hours.
Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.
Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.
If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
