    TikTok: It’s All In The Algorithm with Dr. Leonard Sax (#102) May 18, 2022
    Show notes

    Melanie is joined once again by Dr. Leonard Sax, an American psychologist, and a practicing family physician. Dr. Sax has spoken on child and adolescent development issues in schools and communities worldwide since 2001. He is the author of numerous books and publications, including The Collapse of Parenting, one of ScreenStrong’s most recommended books.

    Did you know that TikTok is the #1 most visited website in the U.S. and Worldwide today? One billion TikTok videos are viewed daily, and its popularity has spread with astonishing speed affecting all that engage with it. Melanie and Dr. Sax take a deep dive to deconstruct TikTok’s algorithm and its harmful impact and suggestibility on young people. From social pressure to self-harm, Dr. Sax expands on the dark side of social media’s influence on our children’s development. He also dives into the parental trap of “just wanting to make our children happy” and how we need to shift and strengthen our parenting intentions to help our children fulfill their potential.

    This is an episode that you may want to use to start a small discussion group among a few friends to encourage and cultivate support in your parenting journey.

    There's Something in the Water with Ben O'Sullivan (#98) Apr 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Today Melanie welcomes Ben O'Sullivan, a new ScreenStrong Ambassador based in Australia. Ben has worked in education as a teacher's aide for over 5 years now and is soon to be expanding his role as a school chaplain. He has also worked with youths in church groups and is presently working on a bachelor's degree in counseling.

    Ben shares his perspective on the changes influenced by the current technology use by youths in his work and community. He shares how his work as a teacher's aide pushed him into advocacy with a focus on prevention of exposure of traumatic content in children. Ben pinpoints the "dark triad" of traumatic content that is deeply impactful to children's well-being. He discusses how the content children consume can affect their behavior, their psyche, and well-being. Ben introduces three solutions that he is concentrating on to help parents and children. He is also creating a community-based support website called ScreenSmiles with the goal to provide education and resources to his local communities in Australia.

    Join us as Ben inspires us with his stories and his dedication to improving the lives and development of children being raised in this technology culture.
