About this episode

Many children's main source of social interaction happens virtually, whether through texts, apps, or even gaming platforms.

In the third episode in a series with Dr. Lisa Strohman, she and the Amens discuss how a parent can monitor their children's online activities, thus protecting them from both addictions and from dangerous people.
