Our regular readers may notice that we don’t tend to feature apps for babies and toddlers on Cool Mom Tech. Last night, our editor-in-chief Liz Gumbinner explained why, as she joined a smart panel on HuffPost Live to talk about apps for babies, and the educational claims that marketers are making–or being pressured to stop making. 

Click over and tune in for a really engaging discussion, including Josh Golin from the Campaign for Commercial Free childhood, app developer and former preschool teacher Frances Judd, and Shira Lee Katz of Common Sense Media.

And hey, if you have any thoughts on when the right age is to introduce kids to apps, we’d love to hear them too.

Thanks for including us HuffPost Live! Smart discussion about a really important topic, and we look forward to the next one.
