I love how concrete and intuitive the recommendations are that came from this study. Thank you for summarizing the research in such a clear, concise way!
Reading all of this is such a relief! There’s so many conflicting things out there and it feels like every choice is charged with less than ideal outcomes. Thank you for sharing this!
Great article. I do believe that there is a different case to be made for the impact of social media use on the psychological well-being of adolescents. Jonathan Haidt is the leading researcher in the field. Would love to hear you interview him, Cara. Time for a podcast maybe?
I am not sure how to interpret the language "using screen to calm kids down." Does it mean when they are emotionally unregulated (crying, angry, tantrum)? Or does it mean when they (and I) are irritated by them trying to get my attention while I am trying to get something else done? There seems a fine line here.
And of course, my thanks for doing such a great job of translating this work for folk who don't have time to read all the literature you and your guests do.
Thank you for offering this summation. The very practical information and recommendations can be easily implemented. Small parental changes can make big impact. ❤️
