Infants and toddlers—the so‐called “touchscreen generation”—are living in a screen mediasaturatedworld. They are the target market for ever‐growing numbers of apps, TV shows,electronic toys, and e‐books. Making sense of the complex issues associated with screen media inthe lives of children under 3 can be challenging for the adults who care for them. There is astrong need among teachers (and parents) of infants and toddlers for guidance related to theappropriate role of screen media in early care and education.Unlike most other books about technology in early childhood, this book focuses specifically on infants and toddlers. Itexplores why and how infant and toddler teachers need to be techwise in order to understand the implications of screenmedia for children’s learning and development. The book serves as a single, accessible resource to relevant research findingsfrom the fields of pediatric medicine, child development, developmental psychology, social and behavioral sciences, andbrain science. It provides infant/toddler teachers with a comprehensive approach and strategies to guide their decisionmakingand promote practices that are evidence‐based, family‐centered, culturally responsive, and collaborative. It is a callfor teachers to think carefully and act wisely when making decisions about screen media—both the technology that they areencountering now and the technology they will encounter in the future—in order to optimize the learning and healthydevelopment of infants and toddlers.
