In this week’s show, Dr. Leonard Sax brings fresh insight and practical tips on how to keep technology in its proper place in your child’s life!

Author Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph. D., joins Marti and Erin for an impassioned discussion of how social media and interactive technologies have changed the landscape of children’s development. With some provocative statistics on children’s use of texting, video games and social media sites like Facebook, Dr. Sax challenges us to be strong and purposeful from the earliest years of our children’s lives in putting them on a healthy path of wise choices about when and how to use these new and ever-changing interactive technologies.
