The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

NOTE

Treat online addiction similar to offline addiction - and recognize it!

Engage in open communication with children about online experiences, ensuring they feel safe to share their issues without judgment. Acknowledge that online bullying and mental health challenges can develop quickly and secretly, unlike more visible offline addictions, such as substance abuse. Recognize the critical need for parents to be aware of their children's online struggles to prevent prolonged isolation and worsening situations. Delay introducing smartphones and social media to children, as doing so later can be beneficial in managing potential online risks, much like introducing them to alcohol or drugs at an older age.
