About This Course

Adults spend an average of three to four hours per day on their screens, while youth spend an average of seven. Children are getting smartphones earlier than ever – 53% of kids have one by age 11, and by age 12, 71% do. While devices themselves are not addictive, the social connections they give us are powerfully compelling. Smartphones provide us the ability to maintain those connections 24/7, but at a cost.

Learning Objectives: 

• Look at the social media trends among youth;
• Examine the underlying science of smartphones, social media and the brain;
• Review the current research addressing media diet;

• Look at strategies for helping youth navigate the digital life.
