This article outlines the APA's recent evidence-based guide to help parents navigate the complex world of teen video viewing. "The goal is not to control your child, but to help them learn to exert some measure of self-control, even if it takes practice," says @mitchprinstein.bsky.social.

NPR@npr.org · last yr.

With teens, it doesn't help to just say no to screen time. Instead, experts suggest teaching them to be smarter viewers of content, and learn to recognize how influencers and algorithms can manipulate them.
