When our kids are young, it’s “easy” to put boundaries on them with social media and screens. Yes, there may be power struggles. Yes, there is a new social channel launching every minute, so it’s sometimes paramount to catching wet spaghetti while you’re learning a foreign language. But parents get it that too many screens aren’t a good thing. So what happens when these kids turn into teens and young adults? As ABC’s Karen Travers learned, the tables turn, and teens start putting limits on their parents about how much and what to post. So fun to have been interviewed with my son Jake for this piece, and love watching one of my Parent Encouragement Program mentors and digital genius Robbye Fox, share some guidelines for this ever-changing landscape. Enjoy, and good luck in your own families! Feel free to comment on this post with any creative ideas that have worked in your own home…
Interesting & informative. A pleasure to watch!
