Social media companies have been highly scrutinized lately. Concerns over censorship, personal privacy, and even national security have gotten the attention of users and lawmakers across the country. But the recent headlines about platforms like Twitter and TikTok have largely overlooked another troubling issue about social media: what it does to our children. Tom Kersting, a family therapist and the author of the upcoming book, "Raising Healthy Teenagers", joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes parents need to be more involved with how long kids are on social media and what they're doing on it. He also offers advice on to help teens who are dealing with the stresses and anxieties of adolescence in our new smartphone-obsessed world.
