Скачать или смотреть Control the Scroll: Managing Social Media and Mental Health

Our Stress-Free App for Finding The Best Kids’ Entertainment: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/appi... If, when, and how to let kids join social media platforms is a difficult decision for parents and caregivers – and even more difficult after recent news about Instagram's effect on our mental health, especially for teenage girls. Comparing ourselves to others is part of being human, but social media puts this impulse into overdrive, creating unnatural and often harmful effects. What’s a parent to do to help their kids develop online habits that support, rather than undermine, their mental health?

To understand this dynamic, we turn to a social media influencer and body-image advocate whose messages stress the importance of taking care of your own mental health. Paired with two of Common Sense’s go-to parenting experts, this conversation will provide you with advice to help your kids develop media literacy skills that protect them online and in life. This talk is relevant for families with tweens and teens, but will be informative for everyone.
