Social Media, Kids and Mental Health: Dr. Devorah Heitner on What We're Getting Wrong

Spawned Parenting Podcast with Liz of Cool Mom Picks

This episode is a must-listen for all parents of kids who have smartphones, especially if you're worried about the impact of social media on mental health.

Dr. Devorah Heitner a renowned author and expert on kids and technology, joins me to provide thought-provoking insights that challenge a lot of the conventional wisdom, so get ready for a fresh take on parenting in the digital age.

You'll get actionable advice for parents, compelling research that supports it, and the nuances of complex issues surrounding kids, tech, and well-being -- including where she agrees and disagrees with the Surgeon General's recommendations, the unintended consequences of social media age restrictions, and the laws and regulations that we should be advocating for to ensure heath and safety for all of us. Not just for our children.
