Back to School Technology Check-In!

With kids back at school, it's important to check in on their tech habits, especially social media use as it relates to their mental health.

In this article, author Devorah Heitner explains:

"For some kids, social media is a place where their identities are affirmed, where their social connections are celebrated and where they find really great information and they have a really good time."

"For some kids, (social media is) mostly negative. There's more harm than good because maybe their algorithm is focused on something really harmful or they've gone down a road of connecting with people that are really unhealthy or toxic."

As students head back to school Sept. 2, parents should check in with their kids on social media use, location tracking and screen time limits, says author of the book "Growing Up in Public."
