WHYY-FM's "Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane"

Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, the Stanley and Debra Lefkowitz Professor of Psychology at Temple, joined "Radio Times" to discuss President Obama's proposal to provide high-quality early education for all low- to moderate-income 4-year olds. "I think finally we're seeing a chance at real educational reform. This is so exciting," Hirsh-Pasek said. "Our children are spending a lot of time in front of screens and not a lot of time talking with people. We can and must do better in our pre-school environment. The social arm is important as well. Our children have to learn emotional regulation."
