In this conversation, Susan Linn discusses the harmful effects of marketing to children and the overuse of technology in their lives. She emphasizes the importance of unstructured play and creativity; stressing that kids can amuse and soothe themselves without needing a device.
We also dive into the current state of EdTech in schools, highlighting the lack of research supporting its effectiveness.
Don't miss the story of Dr. Linn's career and as a ventriloquist at the end of the episode!
I highly recommend Dr. Susan Linn's book 'Who's Raising the Kids' available here.
