As the pandemic came to a close, there remained a long climb ahead before life could return to a pre-pandemic “normal”–but this was the time to start a conversation about how to approach a digital and socioemotional reset as the transition out of pandemic-era habits and circumstances began.

Children and Screens’ #AskTheExperts webinar “Digital Reset: A Primer for Transitioning Out of the Pandemic” was held on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 12:00pm ET via Zoom. A distinguished panel of researchers, clinicians, educators, and parenting experts discussed how to navigate the many ways life was expected to change in the months to come. Calling upon their interdisciplinary expertise, the panelists provided mitigation strategies for the anxiety, stress, and trauma of the pandemic, and shared advice for combatting unhealthy habits formed during lockdown, both on- and off-screen.
