In this episode of the Digital Parent Podcast I was joined by psychologist Jocelyn Brewer  who is the creator of Digital Nutrition. Digital Nutrition is Jocelyn's framework for parents to understand the visual nutritional value of content that children consume on mobile apps, laptops, iPods, desktop, etc.  Unlike experts who strongly recommend children going on a Digital Diet, Jocelyn believes that kids are born in an online society which makes it impossible for them to walk away from technology.

She does not believe  in the concept of internet addiction. Jocelyn counter argument is for parents to find nutritional online content that will feed their soul .Jocelyn and I discussed ways parents can locate good nutritional content online that has a positive effects on teens minds and bodies. We discussed Common Sense Media as one of the go to places to locate nutritional  digital content.

• Why is it that Digital Diets and  Digital Detoxing fail?
• What are the 3 Ms of Digital Nutrition?
• Is it possible to enforce rules for powerful behavior such as sexting?

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How to find nutritional digital content
• How to set up a Digital Sunset
• How social media can help with mental health issues
