Experts Issue New Guidelines on Teen Social Media Use #shorts

Just as a teenager must be trained to drive a car before getting a driver’s license, young people should be trained in how to safely use social media, says the top U.S. organization for therapists and psychologists.

The new list of 10 guidelines is also filled with oft-heard recommendations to limit and monitor social media use by young people. It is the first time that the American Psychological Association has issued social media usage recommendations, which it called a “health advisory.” The organization said a committee of experts based the guidance on research and science. #socialmedia #teenmentalhealth #psychology #parenting #webmd #shorts
