Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat…oh my!

Our kids are bombarded by social media.  When moms and dads of today’s kids were growing up they were discussing the messages that Seinfeld was delivering…quite a difference, huh?  There are many good things to say about the prevalence of social media in our everyday lives.  People of all ages can stay in touch as never before.

What about some of the negatives?

1.  The constant hate speech
2.  Cyber bullying
3.  Sleep deprivation
4.  Identity theft
5.  Violent images

Yes, it’s a Brave New World Mr. Huxley and we need to work together to minimize the negative impact of social media.  I am Dr. Steven Sussman, one of New York and New Jersey’s top child psychologists.  Let’s discuss the challenges together at my Staten Island or Mountainside, NJ office.  Please call me for an appointment at (908) 217-8106.
