Ep. 108: WW A Critique of APA’s Recommendations for Adolescent Social Media Use


Listen Later

On May 9, 2023, the American Psychological Association released its first Health Advisory Report on adolescents’ use of social media. Parents everywhere await expert organizations like the APA to guide and direct their decisions and even affirm their concerns regarding the risks of kids’ use of social media. Unfortunately, this report provides nothing of value that the everyday non-psychological scientist parent doesn’t already know.  Kelly and Chelsea walk through the recommendations provided in this report and counter them with the truth and sufficiency of Scripture.
