His goal is to improve the general and health literacy of families from all backgrounds\, not just because it’s lovely and wonderful\, but because it builds brains and bonds.   \nDr. John is passionate about better understanding the rising influence of digital media on young children\, and the importance of a solid foundation in language\, human connection and creative play.
