The Clown Mother
1Description
The girlies wrestle with the phenomenon of the iPad Kid. They delve into the research around child psychology and children’s programming to answer the important questions: Was children’s entertainment always this bad? How detrimental is the iPad to a growing child’s brain, really? And, why can’t you zoom in on things IRL? Digressions include some lovely Fall Behavior and the philosophical musings of one listener that inspired this episode’s title.
This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza McLamb and edited by Allison Hagan. Research assistance from Penelope Spurr.
