Today we are excited to be joined by Dr. Jaqueline Nesi. Dr. Nesi is a psychologist, professor, and founder of Techno Sapiens,an up to date resource on the research on technology and teenagers. Dr. Nesi is here to discuss with us a recent proclamation by the U.S. Surgeon General that age 13 and under is too young for children to be on social media and that there could be dangers related to too much screen time. We will look at how social media could contribute to mental illnesses and if social media does have any impact. Furthermore, we will discuss the importance of understanding how scary “headlines” regarding social media research can impact parenting views. Finally, we will discuss strategies regarding how parents can implement social media for the first time in their children’s lives.
