You have to be aged at least 13 to access social media like TikTok, Twitter and Instagram in Australia.

But is that an appropriate age, given the disturbing content available and harm heavy social media use can cause?

Could we just ban smartphones and social media for Australian kids altogether?

Today, we meet a father who has limited his daughter’s phone use and a psychiatrist who’ll explain the problems that smartphones can cause.

Featured:

Danny Elachi, The Heads Up Alliance founder

Dr Yann Poncin, child psychiatrist at the Yale Child Studies Center
