    This is a tough one. The positive effects of social media on mental health can be lifesaving, yet its negative effects may lead to a life taken far too early. We have a nuanced discussion on social media's pros and cons, and how to help your child or someone who may be addicted to it. There is a dire need for change, and it starts with all of us. We list out specific recommendations for social media use in kids and teens, and how to have a conversation with them to develop a family media plan.
