Questions Covered in This Episode:
- What are we going to do about kids on social media? Why is this all over the news right now?
- What is the difference between social media and general access to the internet for a kid?
- What is the benefit of social media? Maybe start with for anyone and then can you see any benefit for kids?
- What is the potential harm of having kids on social media?
