Breakout Session 3c: Navigating Early Childhood Media Use with the 5 Cs Framework
1 Social Work Credit
The 5 Cs combine current research and evidence to inform parents about kids and screens based on their children’s developmental stages. They show how different developmental stages influence media use, and healthy media habits to strive for at home. The 5 Cs are designed to meet kids, teens and parents where they are, build insight and communication skills, and motivate for healthy behavior change.
