He will provide research-based answers to parents' questions about media use in children of all ages, and provide concrete tips and strategies about using technology responsibly and safely.
This presentation will provide information that is relevant for parents of students from preschool through high school and beyond. Dr. Rich is a pediatrician who specializes in the impact, both long and short term, of all forms of media (television, video games, social media, and cell phone use). He is the Founder and Director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Boston Children's Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health.
