In recent years, clear evidence of the harms caused to children from social media use has emerged, prompting lawmakers, regulators, and Big Tech companies to respond. Too often, however, the voices and experiences of parents are left out of these debates.
What can parents do, both in their local communities and nationally, to encourage a safer, healthier online experience for children? What does the latest research show about the risks and rewards of social media use for children and young adults?
What are the most effective strategies for parents to adopt at different stages of children's development with regard to technology use? And how can we realign policymaking in this area so that it follows the latest available research and the needs of American families?
