Hello!
So many listeners of The Screenagers Podcast have told us that what makes the show extra special and helpful to them is hearing real world examples from other parents, teachers, teens and kids who share their challenges, concerns, advice and solutions on matters related to screen time, social media and this digital age in general.
That is why I am making this special request of you — to everyone reading this.
This year we’re excited to create the Screenagers Caring Community! This is a group of our listeners and supporters — both youth and adults — who are interested in speaking on The Screenagers Podcast and sharing their stories, opinions, advice and more!
You would join a private list maintained by our Screenagers team that would include people passionate about improving screen time issues for youth (and adults) in our society.
From time to time, usually about once a month, we will send topics or questions your way that we would love to get your perspective on. If it was something that you wanted to weigh in on, then you would let us know by reply.
From there we would arrange a time to chat over with me (Delaney), Lisa or another member of our team, usually on zoom and with your permission we would audio record the chat for use in the podcast. (No video and if needed it can be anonymous and even voice modified.)
Examples of questions:

I've been noticing the ways I can be rude, in person and on my phone. This week I share two recent examples of my own, plus why correcting myself out loud strengthens self-awareness. The talk that follows isn't about your kid. It's about you going first.

An Oakland library has started lending out sports equipment and games alongside books, so families can borrow gear to use at nearby parks. It is a reminder that borrowing and lending between families is a simple way to fill a summer afternoon without a screen, while quietly modelling generosity and humility. We are out of practice at asking, but the person on the other end is usually glad to help.

E-readers are convenient, but there are three reasons to lean toward paper books this summer. First, e-readers are screens, and the pull of everything else you could do on one makes it harder to stay immersed. Second, a large meta-analysis found people understand and remember slightly better on paper, especially with longer texts. Third, easy access to endless book samples makes it too tempting to jump ship rather than work through the slower parts, since reading, unlike TikTok, is about delayed gratification.
