Get ready to discover how media shapes our children's perception of the world in our insightful conversation with Kim and Adriana, leading voices in children's media. We delve deeper into how children's media, while entertaining, can also be a powerful tool to support their learning and social skills. With these experts, we unpack the importance of diversity and inclusivity in children's media - from South Asian representation to Indigenous characters, and 2SLGBTQ characters - and the conscious efforts to bridge the gap between content creators and academia.

Did you ever wonder how the process of creating kids' shows ensures that children's experiences are accurately represented on screen? Kim and Adriana reveal the fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the making of children's media. We touch on the importance of having diverse and authentic voices behind the scenes and the intricate process of creating content that resonates with kids. Plus, we examine the unconscious biases that may influence gender representation in STEM characters!

As we navigate our way around the children's media landscape, Kim and Adriana share their tips on media literacy and how parents can initiate meaningful conversations with their children about inclusivity and difference. We learn about the powerful impact of media representation on children and how it shapes their understanding of the world around them. We wrap up by exploring the importance of testing in children's media, revealing how user testing helps create content that both kids and parents enjoy. Tune in to this enlightening conversation, and let's use media as a tool for education and sparking meaningful conversations with our children.
