Is the Immediate Playback of Events Changing Children’s Memories?

 Looking at a video right after an event can overlay and alter the actual memory of the experience, experts say.
Many studies have been done on how a person taking a photograph reinforces or reshapes their memory, but what about our children — the subject of our constant documentation? Does seeing themselves in the third person change or even falsify their memories?

Parenting Quotes
"We all, as parents, are laughing at ourselves and helicopter parenting and saying, 'This isn't the way we were parented; we were allowed to run free.' When I talk to my friends, we are all fascinated by what we are doing, but we can't seem to stop ourselves."
- Liane Moriarty, Author, Mother of Two
