Digital Distress - How our Kids are Impacted by Social Media with Dr. Lisa Strohman | POF125

When I first heard the reports coming from the Facebook whistleblower, it confirmed my worst fears. My guest, Dr. Lisa Strohman has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of social media for some time. Dr. Strohman is the go-to subject matter expert for CNN, Fox News and is a regular on The Doctors. We talk about how social media apps are changing the way we relate to each other, consume information, and even parent. In this episode we talk about: How hate is promoted over love The impact to our kids’ mental wellbeing Social media is becoming more influential than parents “Finsta accounts” and why you should care Where not to allow your child to have their phone The average age of children accessing pornography For more on Dr. Lisa’s take on Facebook’s policies, read her blog post here: https://drlisastrohman.com/facebook-whistleblowers-powerful-testimony/ You can find Dr. Strohman’s books, “Unplug” and “Digital Distress” on her website or on amazon. https://drlisastrohman.com/books/ About Dr. Lisa Strohman Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist and attorney who is the founder of Digital Citizen Academy-- one of the first organizations to focus on eliminating issues such as cyber-bullying, child luring, sextortion, and suicide through prevention and diversion programs, events, and resources. She is also a mother of two children. This month Dr. Strohman and a colleague (Dr. Melissa Westendorf) officially published their book Digital Distress: “the first book of its kind to focus specifically on Gen Z, highlighting how children who have grown up with technology as ubiquitous as air are impacted by the challenges of growing up in a digital world.” Contact Information: Email: lisa@drlisastrohman.com Website: www.asklisa.com Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlisastrohman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrLisaStrohman/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drlisastrohman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-strohman-j-d-phd-478a64b/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFP99sPxoIekg-kBBilDegA Thanks for listening!

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
