Summary
“Only two industries call their customers users: illegal drugs and software.” —The Social Dilemma
Well now, that’s a quote that will stop you right in your social media-ridden tracks.
If you haven’t had a chance to watch Netflix’s new documentary, The Social Dilemma, let’s suffice it to say that the veil has been lifted on the ins and outs of social media algorithms and the impact it’s having on our lives. For me personally, it was eye-opening to see how manipulating and addiction-based social media has become, all in the name of buying our attention.
Sadly, it’s working!
Licensed psychologist, Dr. Ken Wilgus, is with us today on Pardon the Mess discussing this very topic. With a specialty in adolescents and families, he breaks down The Social Dilemma as it relates to our kids and provides practical advice on important next steps.
Some of the areas we cover include:
- The most important take-aways from The Social Dilemma.
- Conversations we need to have with our kids relating to social media.
- The impact of technology during puberty, especially in our girls.
- Age-specific boundaries to set around social media with our kids (and ourselves).
This is an important conversation you don’t want to miss. There’s no need to be fearful, just informed and prepared.
Let’s do it together!
