"Children turn to screens because opportunities for real-life human interaction have vanished; the public places and spaces where kids used to learn to be people have been decimated or deemed too dangerous for those under 18."

The majority of teens get their news from social media and YouTube. This means that the news is curated by their friends and YouTube recommendations. We need to teach kids to decipher and value truth! #MediaLiteracy #parenting

Before sharing videos online, you need to do your research. The implications of spreading false news is profound. Children need this education! Check out our curriculum at https://t.co/9jiJZHIBt5

We need to help kids become research scientists of their state of mind when engaging with media technology, and then provide guidelines to support our kids in making decisions in alignment with their health. #digitalwellbeing #screentime #parenting #videogames

Does your child's school include comprehensive and inclusive #sexed? "In 2017, there were a reported 2.3 million cases of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — a record high." https://t.co/xkfBjNd597

Imagine if controlling access to cars was the only way we protected our kids from accidents. They need more than restrictions; they need DriversEd for the digital world, guiding them in responsible use in alignment with your family values #screentime @NPR https://t.co/UXvky6VfSg

In a world filled with incessant digital distraction, students are craving time to just reflect in silence! We need to model and teach that this is a priority. Check out this video of a teacher doing this important work! @edutopia #mindfulness #education https://t.co/Tn9imdqIcF

Excited to share this podcast episode from @PlanSimpleMeals about parenting in the digital age! "Technology is distracting us all the time. It’s incredibly effective because the people designing these apps understand how our brains work better than we do." https://t.co/c09dWMzNNC

Every child deserves to grow up with accurate and empowering information about their own body, sex, and relationships. Every child deserves comprehensive and inclusive #sexed #StartTalking

"Greenspan [a pediatric endocrinologist] suggests talking to children about sexual development by the age of 6 or 7. 'Starting the conversation when kids are young, and keeping lines of communication open can make the transition less scary,' she says."

The transformative power of conversation! @NPR
#ParentingTip : Talk openly about periods with your kids from a young age. This applies to moms and dads! Misinformation and shame flourish in the dark. Talk with your kids about this natural part of life!

So happy to be in Mexico City last week as the keynote for the Mother’s Day Conference, presenting on The Talk: What your Kids Need to Hear from You about Sex! What a wonderful group of women! #mothersday #sexed #TheTalk What do you wish your mom had told you about sex?

Great research on how your relationship with your phone may be impacting your health, as well as your ability to make rational decisions and exercise self control! #TruthAboutTech

When we become bored with silence, how are we leaving space for creativity? "Mostly, I became aware of how profoundly uncomfortable I am with stillness...It’s an unnerving sensation, being alone with your thoughts in the year 2019." @nytimes https://t.co/edfejuVbBt
