Sharing – The impact of Facebook and Instagram on teens isn’t so clear
In the end, here’s the thing. You, and your kids, are not a study. You are all individuals, who may be negatively impacted by social media, or not.

Sharing – How giving to others can boost mental and physical health

Volunteer your time, give money, or notice someone who could use a small act of kindness and provide it.
