Navigating Cell Phone Use

We are gearing up to launch an incredible workshop designed just for parents tackling the ever-changing world of teens and their cell phone habits. Get ready for real talk, and practical tools to help you navigate this digital age with confidence! In the meantime, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit our chat with Dr. Alison Yeung for anyone who might have missed it the first time around!How are devices impacting the mental health of our youth? Dr. Alison Yeung, a Family Physician from Ontario, Canada, has noticed a growing number of teen mental health-related visits over the past decade. With kids spending increasing amounts of time on devices, especially on social media, YouTube, and video games, she began research on the topic. What she found raised serious concerns about how these platforms are affecting young minds. Now, Dr. Yeung is dedicated to educating parents, encouraging them to delay their children's exposure to social media, and reducing the harmful effects of handheld device use.
