Social Media Influence with Dr. Miranda Verone

Motherhood. The challenges of making powerful decisions about our kids while not letting the pressure get to us. And now, digitally, these challenges inflate even more. At such a young age, kids are exposed to all things screens–particularly social media. It makes us questions, how much is too much, and what are the benefits, but also the downfalls.

For youths today, mental health has become significantly less taboo than ever. We must highlight the remarkability of the mental states of the next generation.
