Perceptions of children's use of digital media study

A recent student found that more parents are concerned about the effect of digital media on children's learning and development. However, many parents also say they do not think their children are spending too much time with computers and other devices. Parents should play video games and watch television with their children, to better understand the time they spend on these activities and to make the experience more enriching, experts say.
