Quick Video Solution Library

Social Media & Screen Time

About This Library

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.

This Series should follow Peace at Home Starts Here and is complemented by our Social Media resource page. Explore all our resource pages and complete Quick Video Solutions Libraries, with even more tools to give you clarity and confidence. Let’s do this together.
