    That is how to raise and talk to teenagers. Never talk down to them. Engage them in conversation logically and with proofs. Be consistent!!!

    Social media is killing our youth. I love that Jen has the guts to stand up to her kids. Not too many parents do.

    Jennifer Garner is a sweetheart. So down to earth. One of my favorite people.

      She really seems like a very sweet approachable person who is not all about the glamorous lifestyle.

    There's the problem. Hoda says, "How do you keep them from hating you?" Parents need to be less concerned with their kids hating them. Once you worry about being your kids friend, you lose the parent battle. I used to say to my kids, "I am not your friend. I am your mother. You have enough friends." Being their "friend" comes later in life.

    Our girls had no phones until after the age of 16 and no online content either. I addressed the dangers of how wide and vast the net is and the predators, being open and honest and giving them tools is the only way. Funnily enough they are hardly ever on the socials as adults 28 and 26 now.. they are more social and go out with friends.. I’m so glad we stayed strong and tough!

    Good for her! None of my teenagers have had social media and they’ve been awesome about it. Why don’t we let them have it, because we truly love them and care about them and it’s my job as their mother to try and guide them and help them the best I can. My current 16 year old son asks every now and then and we just simply tell him it’s pointless and not good. He gripes a little but he knows it’s true, so he thankfully doesn’t put up a fight.

    I remember 12 years ago, 2012....Social Media was a more safe place than today...Of course we all used it smart...But now, negativity is everywhere...I'm an adult who cannot stand how much people bully everyone online...For their looks, style...people are bullies online and in person...It's scary, I don't remember seeing any hate comments in 2012...

    Mine got phones when they could afford to do pre-paid on their own.

They learned how to manage, and prioritize the time they had available.

    To add to this: This also applies for screen exposure for children under the age of 2! It modifies a child's ability to distinguish reality from fiction, AND it rewires the reward center of their brain before they even have the opportunity to decide for themselves what they actually enjoy.

    Kids are wired to beg and plead. I think parents forget that it’s our literal job to make decisions that are in their best interest. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to not let your middle schoolers have social media. The ones that do have so many more social problems and do more poorly in school.
