This is why you shouldn’t feel guilty about letting your child play video games.🎮 My latest research at @sheffielduni has shown that digital play can actually be good for children’s well-being. Here are three reasons your child may benefit from playing video games. 🧵 1/5
Two young girls and a woman (their Mum) sit in the kitchen playing Minecraft on their tablets (girls) and laptop (Mum). The older girl is high-fiving her Mum and the younger girl is laughing. Behind them, you can see their digital game play within Minecraft - three avatars are interacting with a Minecraft pig.

So sorry to learn of the death of Kay Benbow, an exceptional and lovely individual who led @CBeebiesHQ into new, exciting areas. She was given an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Sheffield in 2017 in recognition of her outstanding achievements in children's media❤️

Sheffield Central is my home. I arrived in Broomhall as a refugee fleeing a civil war. It was this city that gave me sanctuary and it was this constituency that raised me. I'm Abdi Suleiman and with your help I will be the next MP for Sheffield Central.

If your reaction to little Black girls feeling included is to dismiss is it as ‘woke’, then there is something deeply wrong with you

It is great that Disney are releasing a version of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey. In the research we undertook with @LegoFoundation on children, technology and play, we noted that there was a lack of diversity in media products for children: learningthroughplay.com/expl…
