Synopsis

February's researcher of the month, Dr Kim Sylwander, joins Dr Cassie Rhodes to chat about her new paper, "There is No Right Age! The Search for Age-Appropriate Ways to Support Children’s Digital Lives and Rights". Dr Sylwander talks about the importance of considering each individual child's capacity, maturity levels and understanding of digital issues before giving them access to certain digital devices or content, and offers parents some great advice about opening up discussions about children's rights online and critical thinking. A thought-provoking conversation which also explores the need for us all to consider the evidence before making decisions.
