A few months ago we mentioned that the Center for Parent-Youth Understanding was launching a Digital Kids Initiative. Were excited to share that this initiative is now live and available to parents and leaders at http://www.digitalkidsinitiative.com/. From the site:

The cultural context of children and teens is changing at breakneck speed, especially when it comes to technology. These changes leave kids facing a host of unprecedented problems, challenges, and choices. Because parents, youth workers, educators and other adults are by and large ignorant to these changes, their ability to influence, guide and direct teens in this new world is oftentimes forfeited.

Well be looking to this site for updates on research and trends related to kids and technology. Well also be referring others there for free resources including handouts you can use with parents, helpful videos, and more. We really respect the work of Walt Mueller and the CPYU team, and are grateful for this new initiative.
