The best way to educate a child in this digital-spatial age is to foster a balance between the use of technology and the development of social and emotional skills
I disagree. Children shouldn't be in the digital world until they are closer to teens. They are missing out on fundamental skill development that can't be taught later. I don't think there is a healthy balance - just degrees of unhealthy.
So did the budding psychologists of the 1970s, with the new technology of the time. At the time, I was just coming out of primary school. Those were hectic times, but here I am, enjoying old age without complaint, adapting to the digital age that is here to stay and whether you like it or not, kids are part of it, there's no going back.
