In this episode, Marcus Bagby, associate director of alumni engagement, interviews Amy Franzini, associate professor of communication studies and research expert who focuses on popular media. They discuss how caregivers can intentionally watch television and movies with their children, tweens, and teens to help build healthy relationships, find teachable moments, and create a safe space to communicate about difficult issues. They also talk about the need for moderation, curation, and independence with children's screen time. Franzini's work has been published in several journals, and she recently finished writing her book Secret Identities and Double Lives on Tween TV.
