Episode 6 – Ask an Expert: Learn Along the Way
In this final episode, explore the importance of staying curious and maintaining a positive mindset surrounding digital well-being.
Welcome to the final episode of our series Ask an Expert: Conversations About Digital Well-being for Families!
The media and technology landscape is ever-changing, and your children and families are, too. When faced with uncertainty, maintaining flexibility and a positive mindset can really help. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Lee, Psy.D, PCIT, expert in parent-child interactions, and Tara Wright, Sesame Workshop Senior Content Manager, discuss ways in which families can stay curious and feel confident — even when they don’t have it all figured out — while still setting boundaries that support the whole family’s well-being.
Listen along to explore questions, such as:
- How can parents and caregivers support their family’s well-being as media and technology continue to change?
- How can parents and caregivers set, stick to, and follow through with boundaries?
- How can families (children and grown-ups) maintain a positive mindset?
