From privacy and 'cancel culture' to AI, sexting, going viral, and the nonstop cycle of sharing and comparing, Dr. Heitner offers practical, research-backed advice to guide children toward thoughtful, responsible use of technology.
Dr. Tess and Dr. Heitner explore Chapters 7–9, tackling how to manage social media missteps, the lasting impact of digital footprints, and the crucial role of teaching children conflict resolution and social skills.
