Last month, surgeon_general released an advisory warning of the harm social media can do to kids. drsanjaygupta talks with him on ChasingLifeCNN about what parents and kids should be doing to minimize the risk.
Hey there. It's Sanjay. Hard to believe, but next week we kick off season seven of Chasing Life. Ever since I turned 50, I've been thinking a lot about the passage of time. It's hard not to, especially since I've now spent more than two decades at CNN with a front row seat to medical and health history. I have three teenage daughters. My parents are now in their late seventies, early eighties. A lot has happened.
So but here's what we're thinking about doing. We're going to try to delay the use of social media for our kids until past middle school. That's easier said than done. And so we're going to need some help doing that. So we're also going to be talking to other parents and understanding if there are others who are similarly inclined and great and try to partner with those parents so that our kids also don't feel like they're the only kids.
