In almost every family, smartphones and screens have become ever-present. The social media world is exposing our children to all kinds of influences - some positive, many more of them harmful and dangerous.

Is there a right way to manage this powerful tool and not let it overwhelm you or your children?
In this episode, Steve Alessi talks with his children Chris and Gabrielle about how their family controls the reach and effect of social media on a daily basis, and how to set healthy and strong boundaries between your family and the unhealthy mindsets that social media can foster in your children.
