Social Media: There is a Better Way – With Benjamin Laws

You are likely aware of the devastating impact that social media has had on Gen X and on the millennials in the last two decades. We are watching a rise in depression and anxiety, kids who are addicted to social media, others who have committed suicide over things that have happened to them on social media, and dwindling interpersonal relationship skills. And the question becomes, is there an alternative to what we see on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok and so many of these other platforms? 

It’s a good moment to take a collective pause as parents to look for a better way. Ben Laws is here from TUVU to join this conversation about the importance of engaging with your kids, the dangers of social media, and why I really think that we can do a better job of helping our kids be connected to those around them without the devastating negative effects.
