It is already known that babies are often exposed to screens during their first year of life. This exposure is mediated by adults, who hand their smartphones or other devices to children for several reasons. What do parents and school caregivers think about a baby's screen exposure? To explore the perceptions of caregivers of babies up to 3 years old about how new technologies pervade family and school routines, affecting children's development, and to provide an opportunity for listening, psychoeducation and reflections, a clinical intervention was proposed. The intervention took place in a kindergarten school located in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, RS - Brazil, during three group sessions, using a conversation wheel. The group intervention enabled caregivers to discuss an important theme, which affects the baby's development and relationships.
