Very grateful to @wgntv.com for having me on to discuss why teens are spending so much time online, how to tell if it's become a problem, and how to help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqYv... #videogames #parenting #screentime

Kids are less likely to break rules they agree with. Here's how I help families come up with a collaborative agreement around screen time. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/vide... #parenting #screentime #screens #videogames #family

Why won't Roblox just add a "communicate with friends only" setting? #roblox #gaming #onlinesafety

Worries over how safe Roblox is for its enormous audience of players — many of whom are under the age of 18 — remain offputting to Disney, which has invested in rival gaming platform Fortnite. https://bit.ly/4s3smL4
