Media, media, everywhere: How to help your child navigate the media they are consuming and creating.

Children are inundated with media every day. We'll examine how parents can help teach their children media literacy, which is examining the different types of media consumed, understanding the messages conveyed, and understanding why the media was created. PBS LearningMedia offers several resources to help parents understand the world of media literacy and how to look at media critically. Parents will leave with a better understanding of how to help their children navigate what they are seeing and what they are creating.
