Join Dr. Yoni Schwab for a timely conversation about the effects of smartphones and social media on children and teens. Phones and tablets have become indispensable to our lives, but they are also powerful and potentially addictive technologies. Using psychological science, we’ll explore how families can change their relationships with screens to maximize their benefits, minimize their harms, and overcome collective challenges within our communities.
