We recently launched the Screenagers YouTube Channel where we will be uploading a range of new content and resources each week, such as movie clips, podcasts, and other original content. I wanted this week to introduce you to the first regular feature on the channel — Screenagers Bites!
In making our trilogy of movies, we recorded over 3000 hours of interviews with our subject matter experts. So many great insights and so little movie to fit them all into. Through the Screenagers Bites on YouTube, we now have a place where we can bring these valuable resources to you, our community.
For this weeks TTT, I wanted to showcase an initial selection of these bites to you, and let you know that you can expect many more of these on the channel in the coming weeks. If this would be of benefit to you, I'd ask you to visit our YouTube channel and subscribe to get them directly into your feed there.

In this bite, Delaney looks back on advice from Laura Kastner, an adolescent psychologist and author, who shares strategies for helping youth manage their media intake. She emphasizes the importance of developing skills beyond social media, such as having conversations, handling power, and being a leader.
As part of an insightful interview with Sherry Turkle, author of 'Reclaiming Conversation', she discusses the impact of digital devices on relational connections within families. Turkle expresses concern that phones often distract us from meaningful family connections.
In an interview with psychologist Larry Rosen, he suggests parents should try to understand the digital world their kids operate in. Rosen's advice to parents is to learn from their kids, asking them about the different social media platforms they're using and how they function.
In this bite, we explore the topic of childhood anxiety with psychologist and author Lynn Lyons, discussing novel ways for parents to help their anxious children. Demonstrating a shift in approach from mere comfort to teaching kids to face their fears through exposure therapy.

Delaney interviewed education specialist Brad Brown, offering insights into his work in creating supportive learning environments. He discusses the necessity for all students to freely express their emotions, and delves into outdated notions of masculinity.
In this bite, adolescent psychologist Lizz Dexter-Mazza discusses the DBT skill of "Opposite Action" and how it can help manage intense emotions. Lizz explains it involves doing the opposite behavior of what your emotion wants you to do and identifies the benefits in helping her teen patients.
Delaney introduces a snippet from her interview with Larry Rosen, the author of The Distracted Mind, discussing consequences for breaking screen time rules for kids. Larry covers the idea of implementing small consequences for rule transgressions, while emphasizing the importance of positive reinforcement.
I'd encourage each of you to share these resources among your families and community to help spark meaningful conversations.
Finally, a gentle reminder/request from me, that not only does subscribing to the Screenagers YouTube channel, ensure you get new videos from us directly into your feed, but it really helps our reach on YouTube and helps empower us to spread our message far and wide.
