Love the callout for Christopher & Joanna's upcoming book! & really love the advice about looking at ourselves first & encouraging/supporting in-person interactions.

Thank you for this post. It’s such a tricky balance, especially when your kid wants to play sports in college and basically *needs* to be on social.

It really is such a balance and hard to figure out how to help him incorporate it, especially when future endeavors are so reliant on social media. Good luck to your son in the recruiting process!

Thank you for this. My son recently came to me about social media. He doesn’t have it yet and wants it because his friends have it. So many parents either have no rules or a watchful eye on it or they ban it from their kids’ devices - I seldom see something in between.

It is a tough call for all families but so important to have more than an all-or-nothing approach. Glad you found this helpful!
