Margaux’s Deeper Dive:
Dr. Brown summarizes current research on social media use by teens and how their brains are wired to seek social approval. She outlines an approach for social media education similar to driver’s education with steps including learning the rules (setting limits), choosing the “car” (selecting appropriate apps), getting a “learner’s permit” (coaching and monitoring), and setting boundaries like “curfews and passenger limits” (social circles and time limits). She emphasizes the importance of modeling healthy use, maintaining open communication, and adjusting limits as daughters gain competence.
