New Episode! Are selfies really just a waste of time? Are some forms of digital media better than others when it comes to kids and teens? Do researchers know how much technology use is “too much” for youth? Like most parents, you’re probably concerned about the impact of digital media on your child’s or teen’s learning, development and well-being. On this episode, Dr. Amy and Teri are joined by Dr. Katie Davis, whose extensive research has led her to become one of the leading experts on the subject. Katie walks us through the good, the bad, and the ugly of everything from intentional design, identity development, and self-directed experiences. Find out what “digital stress” is, whether social media really causes mental health issues, and why “good enough” might be the best option when it comes to parenting through the digital age.

I had a great time chatting with JoAnn and Brie on the No Guilt Mom podcast!

Does your kid tantrum when you say it's time to put away devices? They're NOT addicted to screens. But...it could mean there are some addictive components built into the app they're using.
