To quote “social media is drastically impacting young people’s mental health, focus, social skills, productivity and self-worth.” This week on Is My Child a Monster? A Parenting Podcast, Leslie has a conversation with Max, a poet, performer, and educator on the impact of social media and technology on kids. He talks about the reality of phones and social media compassionately, and how parents do indeed have to deal with this reality because it’s not going away. Max increases our understanding of how social media is designed to keep kids (and us) on our “everything machines”. He offers practical solutions to work on and hopes to create a common language between parents and their kids. Available wherever you get your podcasts!
