About this listen

What is social media doing to our brains? How can we make sure smartphones don't affect our health? How do we overcome jealousy, cyberbullying and the ever present FOMO? These are some of the questions that social psychologist Aleks Krotoski addresses in this series aimed at teenagers and their parents. She delivers the latest science about screentime to help you make the right decisions about how much, or how little, to use technology in your life.
