Originally Published by: As screens become a bigger part of childhood, the average parent says digital literacy education should start before kindergarten, according to new research. A survey of 2,000 parents of children aged 0–5 years found that, on average, parents believe digital literacy should be taught starting at the age of four. And despite nearly nine in 10 parents (86%) being familiar with the term “digital literacy,” 76% say they’re figuring out how to teach responsible technology habits as they go — wishing they had a parenting handbook to guide them (66%).
