Episode Notes

Navigating the digital world with young kids isn’t easy, but it can start with something as simple as a song. 

In this episode, we talk with digital literacy expert and author Carrie Rogers-Whitehead about helping children in preschool through 3rd grade build healthy, lasting digital habits.

She shares practical strategies for parents, like using routines and music to make tech expectations stick, and explains why early digital skills matter more than ever. For educators and school leaders, Carrie offers thoughtful ways to team up with families and create a consistent approach to digital behavior—at home and at school. 

From modeling responsible use to starting conversations that matter, this episode is full of takeaways for anyone supporting young learners in a tech-filled world
