The teenage years can be exciting times of growth, but can be a strain on your relationship. As your child enters the tween and teen years their brain changes in ways that cause them to find their tribe of peers. This may mean that they are less likely to seek the advice and validation of adults but it doesn’t mean they don’t need your calm, consistent guidance.

Many parents struggle to know how much screen time to allow their kids to have, how old their kids should be when they begin using social media, and how to navigate conflict surrounding phone and video game use.

Additionally, the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory Report indicates that nearly all teens use social media and we cannot conclude it is safe for their mental health. In the context of our ongoing national pediatric mental health crisis, we must come together to address these important issues. This library of quick videos provides answers to your questions about screen time and social media use at various ages of your child’s development.
