261: Sparking and sustaining the social media conversation at home

How are we helping parents and caretakers as they seek to learn more about digital literacy and social media?  On this episode Jeff and Tricia discuss recent research that makes the link between too much unregulated screentime and anxiety. So what do we do to help one another be more mindful of our social media use? Jeff walks listeners through his PARENT framework and talks more about ways he can support your parent/caretaker audience and ways he can help your PTA sustain a conversation about social media in this ever-shifting landscape of digital literacy.
