Technology, although we don't need it to survive, it surrounds us and is a part of our world, like it or not.
In today's tech-savvy world, how do we ensure our kids aren't getting lost in the digital maze? This episode of 'Conversations That Matter' brings in Josephine Tynes, a seasoned expert in youth behavioral health, to tackle this pressing issue. As the founder of Parallel Consulting, Tynes dives into the double-edged sword of technology in the lives of children and adolescents.
She sheds light on how screens can both aid and hinder mental well-being, making it clear that while tech isn't inherently bad, it's all about balance. Tynes emphasizes the importance of viewing screen time as a potential red flag rather than the root cause of behavioral issues. She shares practical advice for parents and caregivers on fostering open communication and setting healthy boundaries around technology use.
From discussing the potential cognitive impacts to offering strategies for managing screen time, Tynes provides a toolkit for navigating the digital landscape with kids. You'll hear about real-world scenarios and get actionable tips to help your child develop a healthy relationship with technology. Whether it's understanding when to seek professional help or simply knowing how to talk to your kids about their screen habits, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
If you're a parent, teacher, or anyone working with youth, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to support young minds in a tech-driven world.
