We followed up with Dr. Devorah Heitner, a professional on helping children thrive in the age of technology, after appearing on a PEP webinar, Critical Topics in Parenting: Talking with Kids about Social Media and Mental Health. This podcast hits on the addictiveness of technology, social media’s influence on your child’s mental health, how to talk about technology, and best practices for sleep and 'mentoring over monitoring'.

Devorah is the author of Screenwise, and her new bestselling book, Growing Up in Public, was released in September 2023.
