∗All children are born ready to learn∗Nurturing, responsive human relationships are
essential to development∗Individual pathways of development are often
interrelated but uneven∗Intrinsic mode of learning is self-initiated play∗Best environments include choice and
flexibility∗Parents are the experts of their own children

∗Librarians are knowledgeable about curating all kinds of resources – including new media.
∗Librarians are skilled at helping children, parents and caregivers navigate many kinds of tools – including positive ways to use new media.
New Media……is changing faster than ever. What does that mean for young children & libraries?

Implications for the Field
∗Honor passion wherever you find it
∗Familiarize yourself with the research
∗Be intentional and reflective in your practice
∗Learn from each other ∗Contribute to the toolkit
![Page 13: ELF2.0: Young Children, New Media & Libraries](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051117/56815e04550346895dcc4d0d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reflective Process
∗What purpose?∗Whose benefit?∗Are we explicit?∗Is it developmentally
appropriate?∗Does it fuel a passion?∗Does it support parent/child
engagement?∗Are we evaluating our impact
and how?
![Page 14: ELF2.0: Young Children, New Media & Libraries](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051117/56815e04550346895dcc4d0d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Putting Reflection into Practice
∗Support parental mastery∗Recognize that all parents want
to do well by their child∗Focus on the parent-child
relationship∗Encourage and model the sharing of digital materials, with an adult as mediator and co-player
∗Offer developmentally appropriate digital options
∗Be willing to engage in conversations with parents/caregivers
![Page 15: ELF2.0: Young Children, New Media & Libraries](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051117/56815e04550346895dcc4d0d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It’s not about technology, it’s about relationships and tools!
Focus on the parent-child relationship:∗ Technology in the context
of human interaction
∗ Example: Model the sharing of digital materials with an adult as mediator and co-player.
Supporting parental mastery:∗ Engage with caregivers in
ways that support their strengths
∗ Example: What media diet do they want for their family?
