Screentime, Scribble Time, Space-Out Time

Parent Trapped

Ever since schools closed due to social-distancing requirements, a lot of kids have been spending most of their time online. Today we'll find out whether all that screen time is harmful—and we'll get some drawing lessons from author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka and some weird parenting wins from the Longest Shortest Time podcast's Hillary Frank.

After the show:

• Read Common Sense Media's review of Jarret Krosoczka's incredible book Hey, Kiddo.
• Watch "Draw Every Day with JJK" on his website.
• Even more insights from Common Sense's research director, Mike Robb: "Screen Time in the Age of the Coronavirus."
