Parenting in the Age of Social Media | S6E4

When Sabine Polak's daughter started high school, something shifted almost overnight. Her grades dropped, her mood changed, and her phone became the center of everything. Sabine turned that experience into the Phone Free Schools Movement. This week, Sabine joins host Frantzces Lys along with Dr. Gene Beresin of the Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds at Massachusetts General Hospital to unpack the dynamics of parenting children and teenagers in the age of social media. Dr. Beresin shares research on how social media hooks the developing brain, why secure attachment matters more than parental controls, and how families can start these conversations before a crisis hits.
