Parents' podcast Familienbande with media educator Kim Beck
"Media make a lot possible"
Nowadays, children grow up with smartphones, tablets and the like as a matter of course. Colorful videos and flashing games have a magical attraction - even for the youngest children. But how much media consumption is healthy and how can parents best guide their children through the wide range of digital media on offer? We talked about this with media educator Kim Beck in the Familienbande parents podcast from Familienportal.NRW.
In this episode of Familienbande, podcast journalist and media scientist Dirk Hildebrand, father of two children himself, and podcast editor Jennifer Borm, mother of a three-year-old daughter from Soest, talk about media use among children and young people. They are supported by education expert Ulrike Sommer as host in an expert interview with media educator Kim Beck.
