Preschool Clues
Preschool Clues
I know what a tough job parenting is, and how hard we are on ourselves as parents. My hope is that when you read Preschool Clues, you’ll feel a great sense of relief!
One of my main goals in this book is to prove—with research and my decades of experience—that you can stop feeling guilty about your kids’ screen time!
I want you to know that you don’t need to feel guilty about the media you feed your kids. And in fact, that you can feel great about the media choices you make for your family. I’ll even share ideas about how you can bring your preschooler’s favorite characters into daily life, and ways you can use media as another tool in your parenting tool belt!
I’ve spent my life talking to preschoolers and I’m thrilled to be able to talk to adults about all that goes into each of my shows!
