In light of the recent lawsuit against Meta and YouTube/Google, I want to share an overview of some of the research into the impacts of screen media on the development and mental health of children and teens. But more, I want to provide support and resources for parents.
In this episode, I discuss:
* The recent and expected deluge of lawsuits against social media platforms
* Research into:
* Infants and toddlers and screen time
* Online learning in schools
* Amount of time online in teens pre and post COVID
* Chatbots and generative AI
* Children’s exposure to pornography
* EMF, which has a greater impact on children than adults
* Support and resources for parents (see below)
* The importance of aligning with children and teens around shared goals

* Boston Children’s Digital Wellness Lab
* The 5 M’s of Digital Wellness

As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions. I learn a lot from your comments.
Until next time,
Courtney
