In today's episode, we sit down with Clare Morell, author and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, to discuss the overwhelming negative effects that screens are having on our children. Clare explains the difference between passive and active screens and how while one is worse than the other, neither can really be called "good" for children. She even goes so far as to argue that the proper amount of screen time for children is none at all! And while we know “CoComelon” is frying babies' brains, is it actually worse than we thought?
