Me and the host, Angela SantomeroI am honored to be affiliated with the WQED IQ: Smart Parent Program. WQED is a PBS member television station that is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The IQ:Smart Parent Program is focused on helping us parent better in theses changing times called the 21st Century. As a working mom I am particularly interested in this program. With all of my responsibilities, I don't have time to research everything myself. So, I value these programs, created by the same station that produced "Mister Rodgers Neighborhood", that help me become a better parent.
Today, WQED will be hosting a “marathon” of IQ:Smart Parent shows that
deal with the topic of the influence of media and technology on our children. It’s
a very relevant topic given the increase use that technology plays in our lives
and our children’s increased exposure to media, especially in a world when they
can get it 24/7.
(Find the shows on Comcast Channel 9.)'
- “Learning with Games”: Can video and online games be positive learning tools for kids?
- “Girls Growing Up with Media”: How are girls portrayed in the media? How does this impact their decisions, behaviors, and sense of self?
- "Health, Wellness, and Technology”: Can technology and digital devices contribute to our health and wellness?
- “Tune In, Tune Out”: Do your children believe everything they see on TV? How does your child learn to separate fiction from reality? (Be sure to check out this one. I appear on the show!)
