Episode notes

Cal Newport: Social media use is damaging to young girls' mental health. He says we can't just say kids these days will be kids and ignore the impact of social media on their psychological well-being. The Buxton School example shows that it's important for us to get more involved in our children's lives, he says. Cal concludes this week's episode by thanking everyone who sent in his questions and case studies.
