Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my course access last?
Forever! When you purchase a course from Those Media Moms, you are buying a lifetime pass to the most up-to-date information about the ever-changing world of children's media. We will update our courses regularly with new research, recommendations, and tips.
Do I need to watch all of the videos?

Can I share my login with a friend?
Please don't! We've worked hard to bring you the most up-to-date information about kids and screens, and provide our expert interpretations. We'd love for you to tell your friends all about it, but please don't share logins between families. We also ask that you please do not share the digital downloads we have provided.
Is there information here that you haven't shared on your blog and Instagram?
Yes, absolutely. Our blog and Instagram are free resources that include some of the information in this guide, but do not go into the same amount of depth and detail as we were able to in the course.
