March 2013: Kids, Teens, Moms and the New Media

We all know that media and technology and their effects are taking more and more time and space in our everyday lives. For this issue, we focused on questions related to media and technology and their effects on our families. For example: What are the health-related issues or benefits of using the new media? How does “consumption” of media affect teenagers? Is TV time bad for little kids? And what are these Mommy blogs I keep hearing about? We found terrific writers to answer these questions and more. So please enjoy our great features and columns.
