Always recommend listening to Lisa Damour’s podcasts- always such wise words.

Y7 having fun and enjoying the sunshine!

The algorithms that drive social media determine what our kids see online. This is a huge problem if your teen's feed is flooded with hate-based or otherwise toxic content. Talk to your teen about how the algorithms work and what's dominating your teen's feed. #10to20

Y7 a fantastic day in the sun on the lake at Cotswold Water Park.

If you are thinking about giving your tween or teen a phone, my advice is to take a step-wise approach. Start with texting only and see how things go. Thanks to @‌sesameworkshop for inviting me to write up my five-step approach. #10to20 #asklisa joanganzcooneycenter.org/2024/03/25/bey…

Thanks to the terrific team @cbsmornings for helping spread the word about how to have essential conversations with teens. And thanks to Gallup and Walton Foundation for partnering with me on this critically important topic.

As we send our kids back to school, it’s helpful (and fun) to remember our own new beginnings. Here’s me starting nursery school, in third grade, fifth grade, and starting seventh grade!

For kids, a new school year can bring new worries about fitting in socially. It can be helpful to reassure them that when it comes to having friends, quality always beats quantity.

The start of a new school year often brings mixed emotions. "Inside Out 2" explores some of these self-conscious feelings that emerge during the teenage years. Check out my full conversation with CNN cnn.com/2024/08/02/hea…

I find that it takes time and patience to figure out the new routines that come with the start of a school year. Here’s to you and yours as we return to the rhythms of school! Warmly, Lisa

Our teens’ social lives are sometimes quieter, busier, or spicier than we might wish. Regardless, we want, ideally, to help them navigate the social realities they face, even if we wish those realities were different.
