How does digital media impact emotional regulation in young children—and what does that mean for learning?

Join Dr. Andy Ribner for an upcoming webinar exploring how screen use influences self-regulation in preschoolers, including its effects on tantrums, attention, and development. The session will also cover practical strategies for helping children transition away from screens with less conflict—especially for neurodivergent kids.

What is the relationship between use and emotional regulation in preschool-aged children – and what role does it play in learning outcomes?

Panelist Andy Ribner, PhD, will explore these questions at the next webinar “Meltdowns to Mindfulness - Self-Regulation in a Digital World,” part one of Children and Screens’ series on digital media and youth self-regulation.

Sign up today to join Dr. Ribner on Wednesday, April 22 at 12pm ET via Zoom to learn more about:
🗝️ What are the key components of emotional and behavioral self-regulation and how do they develop in the early years?
👶🏼 Does using screens to soothe tantrums affect a toddler’s ability to learn to calm themselves?
📱How does the lure of screens interfere with children’s learning and growth? What are unique considerations for self-regulation with digital media for neurodivergent children?
🗒️What are practical strategies parents can use to support young children when transitioning from high-dopamine screen time to other activities, while reducing conflict?
